You can simply delete the entire p.list file and it will be re- created on the next launch. The bad effect is that you will have to reset any other preferences you have changed from the default settings.

And if you do that while RB is open, does that work? (sorry, I don't use RB 2005)

I could imagine, if you delete the RB prefs file while RB is open, that RB saves the settings in the prefs file when you quit (or is it if you go to "preferences" and hit OK?). This may not save recents file again!?

I wouldn't do that as the preferences file is usually checked both at startup and quitting; creating a new one if it doesn't exist. If you delete it during running it will simply re-create the last one from memory. If you do it with Rb *not* running, it will create a new default one.

This is actually my point: as you said, "it will simply re-create the last one from memory". Then, what's in memory? The preferences, as they were read when RB started up (or when you last modified them). Since I doubt recents files are also, in memory, I believe you should end with a prefs file containing only your actual preferences without recents file. Just a guess, it actually depend on how they programmed that (but I think my thoughts are somehow "standard")._______________________________________________
