[Solved] Turn-off 'Recent Documents' option.

Post by ramjet1953 »

Hi, there!

I would like to know if you can turn-off the 'Recent Documents' feature in the File Menu?
I would like to do this for all files.
i.e. Word Processor, Spreadsheet and Data Base
I need to do this for security reasons.

Regards,
Roger :D

Try it:
Click on arrow at end of a toolbar -
Customize Toolbar - Menus - File - Recent Documents - Modify - Delete

Hi,

you could try the extension History Master. Set the List size (for PickList and URLHistory) to zero.
That works for me on WinXP and Ubuntu 10.04.
Histories.xcu remains empty.
