Menu selections to clear history of recent files and/or projects

[Wayne.C]

I would like a better way to clear the list of recent files and recent projects in LabView.  It is often disireable to clear the history when changing to a different project or a different user.   Currently the user must close LV, edit the .ini file and restart LV.  I would like to see menu selections added to allow the list of recent files and/or recent projects to be cleared.

Or individually deleted.  I suggest a right-click menu on the items in the Getting Started Window to clear the item from the list.

In favor of crossrulz's variant.

Maybe clear all + clear individual entries will be best, but either one is better than nothing.

This is a GREAT idea. I am also in favor of crossulz's variant.

Most of the work I do in LabVIEW is maintenance, demonstrations, or reviewing existing projects and vis and I would spend less time hunting if I could clear items I know I won't use again in the near future.

Thanks to Wayne C. for reminding me I can edit the .ini file.
