Remove specific DWG preview from start menu
« on: October 16, 2018, 06:22:09 AM »
Hi...
As I stated it's irritating...
I renamed one my DWG and when I clicked on start menu, preview is empty and of course path is invalid - filename has been changed... I opened new - renamed DWG file - new preview has been generated, but I don't know how to get rid of old broken linked one...
I think this occur on all AutoCAD versions that have start menu with preview recent used DWG files...
If someone knows how to get rid of just one preview it would be perfect, else I want to get rid of all of them and leave just last one...

Thanks, M.R.

The recently used file list is stored in the registry.  You should be able to yank it out there.
If you are going to fly by the seat of your pants, expect friction burns.

This macro should open the folder:
Code: [Select]
^C^C^P(startapp "explorer" (strcat (chr 47) "n," (chr 47) "e, " (getenv "APPDATA") (chr 92) "Microsoft" (chr 92) "Windows" (chr 92) "Recent"))(princ)It comes in handy for finding any recent files as well.
