How To Get Rid of Recent Projects in Visual Studio
Friday, November 9th, 2007Ever go to your start page and in your Recent Projects dialogue window see all of those recent projects/branches that you used to work in, and not be able to get rid of them?
Well today, I’m going to share a little tip on how to do it. It’s quite simple really. The problem is that it’s stored in your registry.
In order to remove them, you simply have to know where to go in your registry to delete the files.
Caution: Removing files in your registry can be dangerous and harm your system. Be sure to follow these directions carefully, or you could open up a can of worms and have the IT Desktop Support department looking for your head.
Click Start->Run-> and type “regedit”. When the diologue box opens up, here is your path to remove the files:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Visual Studio/Version number (for example 8.0)/ProjectMRUList
Remove the Project File Paths you no longer use and then Restart Visual Studio.
