Delete items from recent documents list

Hi everyone,

I wanted to delete some items from my recent documents list.
I am using windows 7 and I have read some posts that I have to change the registry..
But which key should I change?
Thanks in advance!

I have changed the values RecentObjects and RecentPlans to 0 and then back to 12, but the files show up again when you open Archicad.

Is there any way to just select the items you want to see in the recent projects?

Hunt around in the registry a little and you will see a list of all the recent files.
You can clear the contents of those entries.
Don't delete the entry just modify it to be empty.
Be carefull when modifying the registry.
This should be safe enough but you can do some serious damage if you are not confident editing the registry.

Here are the files in the registry.
Right next to where you set the number of files to appear in the list.
I only have mine set to show 4 recent files.

The "Symbol" files below are for recently opened object scripts.
