How To Clear "Open Existing Projects" Listing?

I have VB.net 2003 and I am wondering How (if possible) can I clear out the
current listing of my OPEN AND EXISTING PROJECT list when I first start up
VB.net?

I currentl show 10 such projects. I've tried to only show 1 then change back
to 10. But, the items come back.

The reason is that I've a few instances where I've opened previously saved
versions of projects. Now I've several lines of the same project NAME, but I
have to be careful to select the correct Current version.

So I just want to whip the slate clean.

Thanks in advance.

c:\ del *.* will wipe the slate clean otherwise you've likely spent a few
thousand dollars on software that requires a registry hack you can find
documented on the web somewhere. Real quality huh? Five years on the market
and we still have to hack the registry to keep a clean implementation.

Thanks Herfried.

That's where they are for sure. Interestingly enough, currently I cannot
modify or delete any of the lines. Oh well... I'll try again next time I have
to do a reboot.

I have some luck in deleting shortcuts in the following folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\Admini strator\Applica tion
Data\Microsoft\ VisualStudio\Re cent\Individual Projects

However, it doesn't seem to always remove the item from the start-up list.

Is it good programming practice to delete existing file before running Open "c:\MyFile.txt" For Output As #1 ??? IE, I already have a file c:\MyFile.txt on disk and I launch Open "c:\MyFile.txt" For Output As #1 ==> VBA is supposed to overwrite whatever WAS there with the new contents - right? And if that is true, does it matter whether I delete the existing file prior to running the Open statement?

I was told they are included in VB2005 Professional Ed. and not in free Express Ed. I wondered if Standard Ed. has it. Is anyone here using Standard Ed.? Based on Microsoft's Product Feature Comparisons http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/products/compare/ Standard Ed's Deployment Tools is called "ClickOnce", same with the Express Ed. Does this mean "Setup and Deployment projects" are not included?

Hi, In VS2003 I am able to clear the recent projects and recent files lists by editing the registry (although it seems that there should be a better way). However, when I look in the registry for similar lists for VS C# 2005 Express, I find no similar entries. So, how do I clear these lists, or at least, where is this information kept? All I can find is info on clearing the Intellisense history. Thanks,

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
