Ever wish you could reset the list of recent documents in InDesign’s File menu? Here’s how.
In the File Handling area of InDesign’s Preferences dialog box (File > Preferences > File Handling), set the Number of Recent Items to Display to zero. Click OK to close the dialog box.
Then, reopen Preferences and change the number of Recent Items to Display to whatever you want. You don’t need to quit and restart InDesign. You’ve now erased the old list of documents and InDesign will keep track of the list of documents you open from that point forward.
