Did you try searching the registry?
Sorry, but as my machine is not yours and I'm no hacker (just a programmer) I can't offer any step by step but do share how I find it or what tool I might use.

Good Day! I hope you're enjoying a pleasant one.
I have Microsoft Picture It 7.0. (aka: MS Picture It! Photo 7.0). I'm running Windows XP Home Edition on an Acer AspireOne AOA150 Netbook.
Regarding the File Menu - How Do I Change/Remove Recent Files List?
Under the File Menu, it shows 4 Recently Edited Files... is there any way to remove this list... an .ini file, or registry edit... maybe... I just know there's some hacker type out there that knows what to do...
Thanks for any assistance you can share with me.
