Hi Joyce,

Under file, recent documents, I have a list of 10.
Two are not valid and I would like to delete them.
A right click brings the same message as the left click
which is that there is no such file.
I have done a lot of hit and miss experimenting and
obviously messed up at least a couple of times.
I would like to tidy up and have only usable
"recent documents" in that list.
Can someone tell me how to delete them?

(1) Close OOo (quickstarter too) and go to
...\<user_name>\<Application_data>\OpenOffice.org2\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\Common.xcu
and open the file Common.xcu with a text editor.
(2) Inside you'll find the list of 'Recent Documents' under:
<node oor:name="PickList">
(3) The ten entries (per default) of this list are from
<node oor:name="p0" oor:op="replace">
to
<node oor:name="p9" oor:op="replace">
Search the corresponding entries to your invalid files and delete
them, e.g. for 'Recent Document' #10, here named 'untitled_106.odt':
<node oor:name="p9" oor:op="replace">
<prop oor:name="Filter" oor:type="xs:string">
<value>writer8</value>
</prop>
<prop oor:name="Password" oor:type="xs:string">
<value/>
</prop>
<prop oor:name="Title" oor:type="xs:string">
<value>untitled_106.odt</value>
</prop>
<prop oor:name="URL" oor:type="xs:string">
<value>file:///C:/Dokumente%20und%20Einstellungen/mjk1/Eigene%20Dateien/A0_OOo/dev/untitled_106.odt</value>
</prop>
</node>
[That's from <node ...> to </node>;
please excuse me, it's a German WindowsXP ;-)]
(4) Save and close Common.xcu.
(5) Restart OOo ...
