Hi,

I'm trying to remove the old files from my File dropdown menu. This menu
lists all the old Quicken files that have ever been opened. I'd like to
delete the obsolete ones.

I've googled around but the best I could find was a reference to Q2006 -
which suggested editing the c:/windows/quicken.ini. My Q2005 quicken.ini
file doesn't contain this info?

Any suggestions?

Try Quser.ini.

It's located in C:Documnets and SettingsAll UsersApplication
DataIntuitQuickenConfig on my computer but may be elsewhere on yours.

In WinXP and Quicken 2002, I find the data in C:WindowsQuicken.ini

Hi, Q_Lover.

If you don't find QUser.ini where Jerry told you, please post back and tell
us which Windows version you are using. In Vista, for example, substitute
C:UsersAppDataRoamingIntuitQuickenConfigQUser.ini, where
is up to you.

Hi RC (and all)

I've loacted a Quicken.ini in both C:Documnets and SettingsAll Users
Application DataIntuitQuickenConfig and C:Windows. Neither has this
recent file information.

I'm using Q2005 with XP home.

I also searched the drive for quser.ini - but it's nowhere to be found?

Maybe I'll have to reinstall? ;-) This is very strange.
