Modifying your registry can cause serious problems. Please make a restore point or export the keys affected by these registry files. The batch files export the registry keys for you and are placed in
My Documents under
RegBackup.
If you are not sure how to export or merge registry keys, I have written a quick
tutorial.
This registry file removes the unnecessary places from the open/save dialog in Office. I don't see the need for Recent Documents, Favorites, or Publishing in there.
None really, if you want to undo it, just use the undo file or the export file.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Common\Open Find\Places\StandardPlaces\Recent]
"Show"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Common\Open Find\Places\StandardPlaces\Favorites]
"Show"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Common\Open Find\Places\StandardPlaces\Publishing]
"Show"=dword:00000000
- HideRecentFromOffice.bat
- HideRecentFromOffice.reg
- UNDO_HideRecentFromOffice.reg
Save #1 to your desktop, double-click the batch file, the affected registry key will be exported for you, and the registry file will be merged. If you want to undo just merge the EXPORT_Filename.reg file.
Usually your computer must be restarted for these to take effect.
