NeMon'ess's Journal: (UPD Solved) Ignorant Win2K ?: removing history links?

When saving files, I never got in the habit of using the History button. Now I want to, and I have hundreds or thousands of links such as "My Documents (35)". I don't want to delete them one by one. I searched for "History" and "Recent" and haven't found them yet. Googling is a PITA since I don't know what to search for that won't bring up stuff for Internet Explorer. Help?

Can't remember exactly where, but...

there's a directory that contains all these. In WinXP it's C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME\Recent. THe easiest way to find it is to do a search of the C: drive with the name of one of the files in your screenshot followed by .lnk (Link extension). when you find the folder you can select them all and delete them. Actually, you might be able to CTRL-A and then hit delete in the history box itself. I know XP uses a mini explorer shell for the save dialogs, so you can use all the keyboard shortcuts tha

No you remembered right, I'm just an embarassed shmuck who overlooked that hidden folder. When I searched for "Recent", I must have not opened that one amid the other "Recent" folders from other users on the machine. Yes I have hidden folders and system folders visible, but I missed that one anyway. Thanks.

no prob. And remember, the best place to hide things is in plain sight. ;-)
