Clear the Save as MRU list of PowerPoint of MS Office XP

This tweak lets you clear the MRU list of Microsoft Office PowerPoint of save as dialog box in MS Office XP.

Tweak for : Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows 2000, Windows Vista

Description:

A filename is saved or loaded into a list called Most Recently Used (MRU). This list is the same as the My Documents list inside Start menu. When a file is opened in MS Word, you can open and enter another file in it, which may be a graphic file or excel file. Therefore, each program in MS Office can go for more than one action and the most recent action is saved to the list of most recently used.

For this, go to Start > Run menu, enter “regedit” and navigate to the registry path listed below. Now, check for a multi-string value name, “Value” in the right panel and delete the value data.

Click “OK” and close the registry editor.

Restart the system or logoff to see the changes taking effect.

Note:
Clearing of the MRU list file does not delete it but this tweak only removes the file link from the registry. Your file is not deleted.

This MRU list is created when u save your presentation in powerpoint.
