Thanks in advance This is a feature of individual applications, not of Vista. Many applications store a "recent file" list in the Windows registry and display those file names in their file dialogs. You cannot prevent applications from doing this in Vista or in XP. You can hunt down the registry entries for those applications and delete the lists, but this is pointless since the applications will continue to create new entries. Doug M. in NJ |

In future try typing your question.
NoFileMru HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\Comdlg32 Data type Range Default value REG_DWORD 0 | 1 0 Description Removes the list of most recently used files from the standard Open dialog box. This entry stores the setting of the Hide the dropdown list of recent files Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when you enable the Hide the dropdown list of recent files policy. If you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the entry from the registry and the system behaves as though the value is 0. Value Meaning 0 The policy is disabled or not configured. The File name field includes a dropdown list of recently used files. 1 The policy is enabled. The File name field is a simple text box. Users must browse directories to find a file or type a file name in the text box. This entry, and related entries in this subkey, lets you remove new features added in Windows 2000, so that the Open dialog box looks like it did in Windows NT 4.0 and earlier. These entries only affect programs that use the standard Open dialog box provided to developers of Windows programs. Change method To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Hide the dropdown list of recent files policy (User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer\Common Open File Dialog). Tip To see an example of the standard Open dialog box, run Notepad and, from the File menu, click Open. For detailed information about particular Group Policy settings, see the Group Policy Reference (Gp.chm) on the Windows 2000 Resource Kit companion CD. For general information about Group Policy, see Group Policy in Windows 2000 Help. To see a table associating policies with their corresponding registry entries, see the Group Policy Reference Table.
