Delete Files from The Recent File List In Windows

Delete Files from The Recent File List In Windows 


Hi,

I am going to show you to delete recent files on your pc WMP .


This tip requires a change to the Window Registry. Please see the MSFN Guide "Backup Your Registry"  if you are new to window registry.

Windows Media Player (WMP) is a built-in application that allows you to play Multimedia files. Like many other applications, WMP remembers the most recently played files and displays them in the recent file list under the the file menu. This feature is useful if you regularly play certain files, but you may want to clear the list if you share the computer and a user account or create archives and CDs.

There are two ways you can clear the list 

I. The ClearMRU.exe  Utility is available for free in the windows media player pack from Mcrosoft

II. You can also Manually delete the list through the Windows Registry:

1. Start the Windows Registry Editor, Regedit.exe, by typing regedit in the windows run Command Line

2.  Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Player\RecentFileList.

3.  Delete the RecentFileList Subkey

4.  If you've also streamed content from the internet, you can delete the RecentURLList subkey

5.Exit the Registry Editor
