Recent Files List

Where does Corel 7 keep track of Recent Files list? I was trying to customize the right mouse click drop down menu of the document desktop and dragged the "recent files" command twice which doubled the files displayed. I can drag the command away, but the duplicate files still show and can't remove them. Is there anywhere in the registry if such a list exists? The only way so far is to start with new workspace which defaults to the original set up. Tried exporting the workspace and importing it as a new, the double file list is still there. Can the workspace itself be edited, .xml file perhaps?

  • If you are familiar with VBA (and have the full version of CDR) you have also the option to do it with a small VBA-Tool:
    Try e.g.:

    Sub Test03()

    Dim i As Integer, j As Integer, DoIt As Boolean

    For i = Application.RecentFiles.Count To 1 Step -1
       DoIt = False
       For j = 1 To i - 1
          If Application.RecentFiles(i).FullName = Application.RecentFiles(j).FullName Then DoIt = True
       Next j
       If DoIt Then Application.RecentFiles(i).Delete
    Next i

    End Sub

    This tool will remove all double recent files. If you have a permanent problem with it, simply run it again and your Recent File List is cleaned up again.
