wordpad

[Guest Snickers]

Awhile back I created several documents in wordpad and created a new folder

for them in my documents. I no longer needed them, so I recently deleted the

folder. They are still showing in wordpad in the file dropdown. How do I

delete them from there?

Stored in the registry in this key.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Wordpad\Recent

File List

 

 

otherwise just open 4 other files and the current ones will be replaced.

RE: wordpad

 

If you're uncomfortable editing the registry, just try to open the files that

have been deleted. You'll get a dialog saying the file can't be found, and

it will then be deleted from the file dropdown list.
