VC# Express 2005 - Remove Recent Projects

Unfortunately, there is no way to do this without editing the registry directly. We will be adding this in the next version.

thanks,

Thanks James. I'm not keen on hacking the registry so I have taken to removing the project folder so that when the project is selected from the "recent projects" list, it can't find it. I then get a pop-up to remove the entry from the regisry. When I say ok, it disappears from the list.

The easiest and most efficient way is to delete all the entries under

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\ProjectMRUList\

Deleting those entries is probably the simplest form for registery "hacking" you can do, and as long you don't do anything else this will not present any danger to your system.

There is no need to hack into the registry!

Simply delete or rename the project subdirectory then try to open the project from the start page. The IDE will tell you that it cannot find the project and ask if you want to remove references to it. Say 'yes' and it is done.

You can then rename the directory back if you want to.
