This small utility clears out the Recently Used Files list (from Gedcom File Tasks on V4 onwards, File Menu on V3 and V2).

It only clears out the list of shortcuts, and does NOT delete any GEDCOM files on your disk.

As it edits the Windows Registry it may need to be “promoted to Administrator level” to work. To do so, right-click the file, choose Run as administrator, and provide the Administrator password in order to get it to work

It is essential that ƒh is NOT running when this utility program is run.

Alternative methods for users who do not wish to download additional software are described in this FHUG thread . Two options are provided, a simple Windows command to modify the Registry directly, or a simple to use ƒh plugin.
