As somebody whose used regedit literally hundreds of times the above
dire warning is totally bogus. You can touch whatever key you want, run
other applications, cancel or interrupt the search or hell even kill
regedit or reboot your computer. It will do no harm.

The file names are indeed in the quser.ini file where indicated in
previous posts. For example:
Voyager:more QUSER.INI
[RecentFiles]
1=C:HomeAndrew DeFariaQuickenHome
2=C:HomeAndrew DeFariaQuickenHomeBKP
3=
4=
You could 1) stop Quicken. 2) edit the quser.ini file and change the
"2=C:HomeAndrew DeFariaQuickenHomeBKP" in the above example to
simply "2=" then restart Quicken. Tested on XP with Q 2006 Home & Business.
Although many programs store such things in MRU (stands for Most
Recently Used) lists in the registry Intuit apparently doesn't.

Repeat the above search in the Windows registry. Type "regedit" in the
"Open:" box under Start -> Run. In the "Registry Editor" window
under Edit -> Find type your search string in the "Find what:" box,
select "My Computer" in the left pane, then click "Find Next". You'll
have a long wait until the search fails or the string is found. You can
use the F3 key to find subsequent occurrences of the search string.<br>
