It looks like the recent items are stored in a preference file: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist You *might* be able to edit the plist file if you are sure to get rid of the string (which has the readable name of the file) AND its corresponding gibberish reference to its location. So... if the file you wanted to remove was 3rd in the list of readable document names, I'd bet that you'd need to take out the 3rd item in the list of gibberish aliases. I haven't tried this, so it might backfire. Bill The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will be January 28 For more information, see <http://www.aye.net/~lcs>.
