Sleep your MacBook, pull the battery out (unlucky for the new MBP 17" owners) for a second or two and then pop it back in. Next time you power up your MB it's right back where you left it. Probably not a long term recommended solution, but I've appreciated this feature way too many times than I should have. Towards a less brutal solution, on OS X, you might think about looking into ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist Unfortunately whilst this gives the name of the file in plain English, the path is given in some kind of code which fortunately can be decoded using AppleScript. Look here for some hints how to sort the list chronologically: http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=17554 My initial thoughts would be to work with the listed Documents, not Applications. Have the user set the Recent Document to a reasonable number. By sorting chronologically you should be able to remove any files that were opened the day previously, unfortunately if it's set to 20 and he opens 20 files and closes 10 of them on the same day, when he starts again it's going to open all 20 :-( HTH _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
