How do I remove all the items from the "Recent Project" list in Visual Studio 2008?

Answer 1

Open the registry, and get rid of the values from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\ProjectMRUList that you don't want.

Answer 2

Further to Jon Skeet's answer, I have found that you also need to rename the items back to File1, File2 etc.

I deleted the first 3 registry entries, and VS2008 didn't show me any recent projects until I renamed File4 to File 1, File5 to File2 etc.
