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

thanks,

Unfortunately, removing items from the Start Page is not supported. However, if you have a strong need to do this and you feel comfortable tweaking the registry, you can delete entries under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\ProjectMRUList\ to clean up your MRU list.

Let me know if you need more help.

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.

If you delete (or move/rename) the project's files, then attempt to access the project through the Start Page the IDE asks if you want to remove all references.

I have used this successfully in VB and VC# Express 2005 editions.

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.

I dont have that entry in the registry. I assume I need administrative privileges to do that?

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.

The regkey turned out to be HKCU/Software/Microsoft/VWDExpress/8.0/ProjectMRUList
