Alfie,

Try a macro like this:

Sub RemoveFilesFromRecentList()
Dim i As Integer
For i = Application.RecentFiles.Count To 1 Step -1
If MsgBox("Delete this file from recent files? " & Chr(10) & _
Application.RecentFiles.Item(i).Name, vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
Application.RecentFiles.Item(i).Delete
End If
Next i
End Sub

HTH,

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has figured out a way to clear off an item or
even the entire list of Recently Used Templates in the Task Pane?
Specifically asking about Excel 2003, but applies to all Office 2003 products
installed on my workstation.
