Recent files list in media player 1

[kftakabab]

Hello
I Want to delete the recent files list that appears in the file menu in windows media player for good! I know how to delete it once, but then every time I listen to or watch something it goes right back, I want it gone for good so whenever I open something with media player it won´t appear in the file menu.

Thanks

kftakabab,

It can't be made "gone for good", the registry key is created as soon as you open Media Player again.

open Notepad and copy and paste the following between the lines and save the file as delmplayerMRU.inf. Right-click on the file and choose Install.

=================BEGIN CUT======================
[version]
signature="$CHICAGO$"

[DefaultInstall]
DelReg=DelTemps

[DelTemps]
HKCU, "Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Player\RecentURLList"
HKCU, "Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Player\RecentFileList"
==================END CUT=====================

Excellent post reghakr, as always. Star for you! Only question I have is can this registry tweak be used in both Win2K and Win9x??

cdogg,

I don't have version 7.0 on my Windows 2000 machine, but it should work as long as the registry key paths are correct.

Look over the .inf files on Win2K. They'll probably start with:
[version]
signature = "$WINDOWS NT$"
AdvancedINF = 2.0,%AdvPack%
