How to clean up the list of "recent" files? SW 09-18-2007

 Quicken maintains a list of recently opened data files, accessible from the
File menu. I use a couple of data files and having these in the list is
helpful but the list now has some crufty entries because I've moved my data
files to a different folder (i.e., instead of having two files listed I now
have four, but two of those are no longer valid entries). I'd like to clean
up this list, either by removing two individual entries or clearing the list
entirely and letting Quicken re-create the list as I open the files, but I
can't find a way to do this.

This file list is not in the Quicken.ini file and I could not readily
identfiy a file in my Quicken directory that appears to contain this
information. But I presume it's there, somewhere. Does anyone know how to do
this? Thanks.

I believe it is in Quicken.ini.

Close Quicken. Open up Quicken.ini. The list is in there somewhere.
Since I have Vista, finding things has gotten much more difficult, and I
couldn't double-check.

Thanks, Han-- "quser.ini" was indeed what I needed. All set now.
