How to Make a File Disappear From Open Database List?

I created a copy of our QB 2007 file in order to do an experiment in a
harmless environment. Now everytime I open QB the experimental filename is
sitting there at the top of the Database Open list ("No Company Open").
What is the safest way to remove this experimental file form the open list?

Change the number of previous company that are displayed. Go to File>>Open
previous company>>Set number of Previous companies. Change this to 1 and
open another company file so that this new file shows up on the list
instead.

W,

If you do not have enough company files to make Laura's
suggestion work and you are feeling brave enough, you can
delete previous companies from you registry. QB 2009's
list is found in:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareIntuitQuickBooks19.0accountant

The "19.0" may vary, depending on your version of QB.

HTH,

Better yet (and safer), search your hard drive for qbwuser.ini and edit the
bottom of the file. This file is version specific and can be found under
your windows user id in the application dataIntuitQuickBooks 200x folder.

Cool! Found mine in (Windows Server 2008):

C:UserstoddAppDataLocalIntuitQuickBooks 2009

Laura, do you know where the last user name to open a company
file is stored? I have search the registry with no joy.

Many thanks,
