Hi All,
I would like to suggest the implementation of a button within the ArcMap options where the user is able to clear the recent maps list of its items. I have found using the 'help' that we can clear this list with the Registry Editor, but as a user within a company I do not have this permission, and I assume many other users would also struggle with permissions.
Can ESRI create a simple button that we can reset the 'recent maps' area to be empty....
The reason I ask, is because I recently created some new templates for myself, and saved them into the template directory so they will act as templates (obviously), but now every time I load ArcMap they appear in my Recent files list, which is not a good idea as I can accidentally (if not paying attention) load the template and edit that, instead of loading it as a template, which forces me to save as a new map... Have I confused everyone??? 😕
Cheers
