Prevent RecentDocsHistory

by bolltron . Updated 16 years, 11 months ago

My Goal is to turn off Recent Docs History In Adobe Reader 9.13. You can set display in Reader to 1 but not 0. Next attempt was Registry modifications which I could cleanup all entries but entries would reappear which Adobe would read then create its own RegHistory in Windows. What I have tried so far in XP

HKCU\software\microsoft\windows\policies\explorer\NoRecentDocsHistory=1
HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\policies\explorer\NoRecentDocsHistory=1
Delete HKCU\software\microsoft\windows\explorerComDlg32\OpenSaveMRU
Delete HKCU\software\adobe\acrobat reader\9.0\AVGeneral\cRecentFiles
Delete HKU\software\adobe\acrobat reader\9.0\AVGeneral\cRecentFiles

Run Clear List from Start Menu for good measure. The steps above will clear all Recent Docs in Adobe but as soon as I load a Document, all the keys above are regenerated and repopulated. If I could prevent the OpenSaveMRU from being created I believe Adobe would have nothing to build its own list from.

TIA
