Remove Recently Used Projects from the Flare Start Page

The current version of MadCap Flare does not allow you to directly remove recently used projects from the Open an Existing Project area of the start page.

I made a call to MadCap support about it and they offered the following:

Warning:  This is not supported by MadCap Technical Support.  This is provided for your information only.

  1. Go to Start > Run. The Run menu opens.
  2. Type regedit in the Open field. The Registry Editor opens.
  3. Under the Edit menu, select Find…
  4. Type RecentProjects in the Find What field.
  5. De-select the Values and Data checkboxes, leaving only Keys selected.
  6. Click Find Next. The registry should open to the correct key (called RecentProjects).
  7. In the right pane of the Registry Editor, select the project to be deleted  and highlight it.
  8. Press the Delete key. The value for the highlighted project should disappear.
  9. Exit the Registry Editor. No save is necessary.
