Hi - can anyone help?
I need to remove the "Recently Used Templates" Cache before deploy a template solution to the machine. Does anyone know where the cache is stored?
Thanks in advance
Jack

Re: Recently Used Templates (Cache) - Word 2007
This list is stored in the registry, in the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Recent Templates
For each template, there are two entries: an entry named Templaten (where n is a number) for the full path, and Friendlyn for the display name.
To clear the list, either delete all entries Template1, Template2, ... and Friendly1, Friendly2, ... or delete the entire Recent Templates key - it will automatically be recreated.
Or in Word itself, right-click each template in the Recently Used Templates list and select Remove Template from the popup menu.

Re: Recently Used Templates (Cache) - Word 2007
Thanks as always Hans .... did note some odd behaviour when I was overwriting the Recent Templates via the registry in a Visual Studio 2008 solution. I was unsure whether I needed to clear the whole cache out before overriding. I'll keep an eye on it.
