Dukmiester2 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I am trying to figure out how to get rid of the recent files listed near the bottom of the FILE menu in Office 2003 programs, Microsoft Office Document Imaging in particular. I have found it necessary to keep ALL the files I EVER opened using Microsoft Office Document Imaging because of a problem that develops with the FILE menu after my PC crashes or locks up for any reason. Just the nature of my rig, and I have gotten used to it. It is a pain having to keep all those files, If I delete any after a crash or lock up, the FILE menu in Microsoft Office Document Imaging then causes an error and the program closes. If I restore those deleted files, the FILE menu in Microsoft Office Document Imaging works again! My thinking is if I can "erase the memory" of Microsoft Office Document Imaging, then maybe my little problem will be cured and I can finally delete all these old files without causing Microsoft Office Document Imaging to have a coronary. Any way to get CCleaner to wipe those recent files so the Office 2003 programs won't look for them? As a test, the same thing shows up in WORD, although when I delete files, it doesn't crash, it just no longer has said files in the bottom of the FILE menu. I have tried using CCleaner and it doesn't seem to be doing what I need. I REALLY want to get rid of these recent files permanently, any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading, bye for now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dukmiester2 Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 Hi this is a known thing and there have been recent Winapp2.ini entries created for it Here are some Thanks for the info. So, I guess if I understand all of this, the Winapp2.ini file is used for "unsupported" extras for CCleaner, kind of along the lines of a Game Mod where the program can be "modded" by users to perform additional tasks, but obviously they (the publishers) can't support user created additions. This is good news! Thanks again. If I can read through the beginner's guide, download the Winapp2.ini and add the proper lines to it to achieve my desired results, I'll Promptly register this software, well worth the price to get this little problem of mine solved once and for all. Thank you again for the reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoKenny Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Dukmiester2, I don't think I would use the term for Winapp2.ini file as "unsupported" but as User Enhanced extras for CCleaner to clean.
