How to remove "recent documents" shown in wordpad

everytime I open wordpad it shows already open documents... since I'm not the only one using this pc I don't want everyone going through my documents. Is there a way to remove what is displayed under "recent documents" without having to remove the documents from the HD?

  • How to block recent Documents on the shared computer

    My home pc IS a shared computer so if someone clicks on the "recent documents", they can see what ive been looking and visa versa, we need to this icon or a button, by name if go, there is no need of this 'recent document' choice, one please?  Thank you

    Original title: 'my recent documents '.

    Windows XP is designed to be a multi-user system.  You need to create a 'profile' of each different user and password - protect.  In this way, not only will the other users not being able to see the list of "recent documents" that you have been looking, they will not be able to access one of your documents (unless you want them to be able to do).

    See http://help.expedient.net/general/winxp_profiles.shtml

    You need to create accounts of users 'limited' for each userrather as "computer administrator" accounts, and you must create a "computer administrator" for use when necessary.  You should not use the built-in account named 'Administrator' on a daily basis, but let him be available in an emergency.

    Note that the "computer administrator" accounts CAN access documents and files belonging to other users.

  • How to remove a document preset

    I created many of the predefined settings of document while opening a new document, but I can't understand how remove them, or find the file in the predefined folder.

    I know this is something simple, but just can't get it done.

    I'm on a windows 7 64 bit if she makes a diff.

    Thanks in advance.

    There are two different sets of presets. Since you mentioned the presets that you made at the opening of new documents, please follow the instructions below:

    Go in file > new

    This opens the dialog box new document. Click on the Preset tab, as shown below.

    In the new document presets, I Select a preset , I did before, but now I didn't need.

    Now with this custom preset selected, I can now press "Delete Preset", as shown below.

    By selecting 'Yes' allows deletion.

    Now, there are presets that Photoshop itself, and you can also remove those.

    Go in Edit > Presets > Preset Manager

    This opens the preset manager and you can Select the predefined type to find the preset you want to delete.

    By pressing "Delete" , you can delete predefined parameters.

    I hope this has helped answer your question. Please post back with other questions.

  • How to remove unwanted documents history?

    I create an eBook in InDesign, saving on .pdf and adding multimedia content in Acrobat 9 Pro. The final .pdf file has a lot of redundant information stored in its metadata, including a complete list of information about each unique instance of the "saving" of the original document in InDesign, going right at the beginning. In a large document that I have which was built slowly over a long period, this list is now more than 400 pieces of long, and I can't find a way to remove it.

    To find this kind of .pdf in Acrobat and look under the: file / properties / (tab Description) / (additional metadata button)

    In the list in the left menu, select "Advanced".

    Open the triangle marked media SMP management properties

    Open the triangle marked xmpMM:History (seq container)

    You can find a list of items, each of which represents a single instance of the original recorded in InDesign.

    There is a "Delete" button is close, but not that what I choose, I can't not to do one of these things are deleted.

    All of these additional data must be inflating the file, and I'm trying to reduce the size of the file. How can I get rid of this thing?  (Do a "Save as...") "in the file origin InDesign help either, as you can imagine.

    Do you already know Advanced menu > Optimize.

    When the window opens ther should be a choice to remove these items. You may need to click on each item to see what you can actually remove or change.

  • How to remove "recently added" music music iOS app?

    Annoyingly, the iOS adds a section of music called "Recently added." I can't remove it, and it holds 894 songs that I bought in recent months. They pigs up to a huge 18 GB of space, I want to use for the music and playlists I want on my iPhone.

    Why Apple thinks they know better than me. I buy music that is rubbish, and I understand it after a couple of times. I never want to see this junk on my iPhone again.

    Please, someone has a cure, short throwing my iPhone against the wall and jumping up and down on it.

    "Recently added" is a selection that is copied to your iPhone to iTunes on your computer.  It's a smart playlist.

    It does actually no additional space at all on your iPhone.  It is simply a convenient way for songs from group for you.

    If you don't care for this playlist, delete iTunes on your computer.

  • How to remove a hyperlink from a wordpad file?

    I have a file of registry entries that I want to save because I clicked on this file, which appeared on my desk, foolishly thinking that a file a .reg would open regedit.  I'm having some problems, and perhaps some/all of them come from after merged these registry entries in the registry.

    In any case, I opened with Wordpad and adjusted the format, so there is only 1 instruction with return to the line.  I think that it is after I started to "save under" all entries changed to a hyperlink.  I don't want this file to the left as I could accidentally change the registry.  I copied the text and used "Paste special" Paste as unformatted text.  That did not work.  Change the format did nothing.  Right click on an individual entry (as opposed to whole list) did not bring a hyperlink to delete option.

    If anyone has a work around or can tell me what I'm doing wrong, I would be grateful. I guess I could save it as a correct Word document, but now my curiosity is twisted.

    Run Windows 10 and have no way to test what is happening with other OS.

    Thank you!

    Probably the best solution I can suggest is to use Notepad instead - it is perfect for these types of files.
