Win Media Player How to clear recent playlist

[DarkAngel]

I'm using win media player 7 and would like to know how to clear the list of recently played files from the File menu. Ihave already tried the clear button on the Start>Settings>Taskbar and start menu>Advanced.Using Win Me.

For Media Player 7 you would have to either use a tweak or simply edit some entries in your registry.

To edit the entries in your registry:
1. run regedit;
2. locate the following key and sub-key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\P layer\RecentFileList;
3. To remove the entire file list that you recently played, clear the [...\RecentFileList] sub-key.

That should do it for you

Of course I need to mention here that editing your registry can be hazardous to your health and the TechJamaica.com Surgeon General strongly advises against it ;D

If I'm not mistaken, newer versions of Media Palyer include an option to clear the list.

Thanks Chris tried it and it worked, re-boot the system (just to make sure computer worked ok) and all was well. 8)
