How do you remove the items in the most recently used files list in Outlook? This list is on the File, Open, menu. I have a user who has 10 calendars listed there and would like to remove some of them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

A long shot....
Try changing the number of entries in word to 0

Thanks for the suggestion but I've tried that and it didn't work. I know it's got to be a registry entry but I don't know where to look. Any other ideas would be welcome!

I changed the value of the DWORD "Maximum Entries" in
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Common\OpenFind \MicrosoftWord\Settings\Open\File Name MRU] to zero. It seems to have worked after a reboot or two.

I tried this (for Outlook and Word) and there is no change. I've rebooted several times and the calendar is still there. Any other ideas?

I've found a fix but it's not pretty if the user has customized Outlook quite a bit. If you create a new profile for the user then remove the old profile the list is removed. However, this also removes any customization that the user has setup in Outlook. Thanks for all of the suggestions!
