How do I clear the previously opened files list in Notepad++?

Tags:

notepad++

I accidentally opened a very, very large file (well not accidentally, but I didn't think it would crash Notepad++). Now whenever I try to open Notepad++, the program crashes, so I can't just turn off the setting. I also don't have admin privileges.
