Disable Recent File Entries
-
I have an application where the user opens many files at once ( MFC MDI ), and the filenames are stored in the MRU list under the File menu. That is fine with me. I would like to disable all these filenames showing up under "Recent Documents" in Windows XP. Is there a way to open files in Win32 and MFC so that the documents do not show up in this list ? :omg:

Are you not wanting files added to the MRU list itself (a CRecentFileList object maintained by CWinAPP), or are you just not wanting the items from the MRU list showing up in the File menu? Read Paul DiLascia's August 1999 MSDN article about this very subject. http://www.microsoft.com/msj/0899/c/c0899.aspx

Checking the MSDN
void LoadStdProfileSettings( UINT nMaxMRU = AFX_MRU_COUNT );states Call this member function from within the InitInstance member function to enable and load the list of most recently used (MRU) files and last preview state. If nMaxMRU is 0, no MRU list will be maintained.
