recent documents in word and Excel
dear experts
is there a way to disable recent documents in word 2010 and recent workbooks section in Office for entire domain users with a GPO? I know I can do this on a individual desktops via
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software \policies\ microsoft\ offi ce\14.0\word\place mru
This policy setting allows you to set the number of entries in the Recent Places list in the Recent Tab.
we changed the home folder paths and some users desktop's are showing the old path for users to save. Currently it is to display 25 and I need to disable it.
to get the settings in word: file, options, advanced and under "Display" show this number of recent Documents: 25
