How to Clear Recent Project list or File list from Visual Studio .Net Start Page
If you are an Advanced User who has priviledges to edit Registry here you go.
Method 1:
Close Visual Studio (if its open)
Start > Run > RegEdit
(Backup registry before making changes)
GOTO
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<version>\ProjectMRUList
remove unnecessary items from list.
If needed reorder your list. File1, File2 etc. Otherwise Visual Studio might not read them properly.
Similarly repeat the steps for FileMRuList
Method 2:
If you can’t edit registry or not feeling comfortable here is an alternate method.
