Clear Project List from Start Page

Here is a nice tips to clear the Recent project list or File list from Visual Studio .Net

Run--> RegEdit  and navigate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<your version>\ProjectMRUList delete unnecessary list.

similarly for FileMRuList.

Make sure not disturb other key from the registry.

very helpful. similarly to clear find & replace list goto

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<your version>Find

clear the keys names as Find<number>

e.g. Find1,Find12,Find0 etc.

Nice tip but not always good to be editing the registry.   MSFT needs to give ability to remove in VS.

Just a note:  You may need to reorder the filenames.  My most recent project was put in File1 with 7 others named File2..File8.  When I deleted File1 from the registry none of my other projects I wanted to show where showing.   I went into the registry again and reordered the names from File1..File7.  The ones I wanted to appear appeared again.

This works but should not be the solution .... Microsoft!!!

Thank you for the tips.  The Recent Project list is clean.  Microsoft should add this function to the next VS.
