Recent Files (MS Office)

[jjsan]

CCleaner clears my Recently Used MS Excel files but not my Recently Used MS Word files. The Office 2003 box under Applications is checked (they all are).

 

Any other settings to check (or uncheck)?

This will probably not answer your question according CCleaner-Procedures - but try to:

 

a. Go into Tools-Options in Word (X) and turn off the option to display the List - hitting OK.

 

b. Select the check box and specify the exact number of files you want displayed in the Entries box. Setting the number to 0 will remove the list entirely and won?t log any list. (Preferred).
