Re: Remove recently opened documents
Jagan Nalla May 24, 2012 6:04 AM (in response to Edgar Kech )If you want to remove manually. Open qlikview start page and select Recenlty Opened Documents -> Right click on the file which you want to remove -> Remove "FileName" from the list.
In this process you can open your qvw file without, Open the file and reload & also you can add your application to your favorities.
Hope it helps you.
Cheers!

Remove recently opened documents
Jakob Fabian May 24, 2012 6:07 AM (in response to Edgar Kech )Hi Edgar,
this does not actually remove the documents.
The list is empty after you set the value to 0, but when you then change your settings back, the same documents are in their agian.

Remove recently opened documents
Jakob Fabian May 24, 2012 6:09 AM (in response to Jakob Fabian )Hi Jagan,
removing those files manually is exactly what I don't want to do. Ever tried removing 250+ files?
It would be nice if you could just remove them all with one click.

Remove recently opened documents
Jakob Fabian May 24, 2012 6:12 AM (in response to Supriya Thigale)Like I said to Edgar prior to this, that's not really a "solution". Setting the value to 0 remove the entire list.
I want the list. I just want it to be empty.

Supriya Thigale May 24, 2012 6:19 AM (in response to Jakob Fabian )It is the proper solution coz u get the list empty but still the list exits.
If you want something more, please elaborate

Remove recently opened documents
Jakob Fabian May 24, 2012 6:37 AM (in response to Supriya Thigale)I would like a list that's empty and that works.
However, setting a 0 where you suggests only changes the display mode, it doesn't actually empty the list.

Re: Remove recently opened documents
Edgar Kech May 24, 2012 6:47 AM (in response to Jakob Fabian )OK, here's just a dirty but working solution:
Make sure, Qlikview is closed / not running
Go to c:\users\<your_user_name_here>\AppData\Roaming\Qliktech\Qlikview\
Open the File "Settings.ini" with a text editor and delete the Lines beginning with FileXXX= in the "[Recent File List]" Chapter.
Save the file
Start Qlikview and enjoy ;-)
Hope this is the right solution for you ;-)

Knew that information had to be somewhere.

Rayna Curtis Apr 20, 2018 11:35 AM (in response to Edgar Kech )Thank you so much for this!! I started doing it manually and after 10, it made me crazy. When I went into my ini, I had 116 files. So glad I found this solution!

Re: Remove recently opened documents
Scott Moon Jan 26, 2015 12:14 PM (in response to Jakob Fabian )Here's a much quicker way to empty the list. Open QlikView Desktop, click "Help/About QlikView...". On the About QlikView window, notice the QlikView "Q" in the bottom left corner. Right click the Q to open the Settings "Easter Egg" dialog. Scroll down the list until you find "StartPageMruListMaxEntries". Set the value to 0, click "Set" and the list should be empty next time you open it. If you want to start filling it back up, repeat the process and set the value to something greater than zero.
*** DISCLAIMER: Be VERY careful while in the Settings Easter Egg dialog. There are very powerful settings there, which translates to "there are things in there that can REALLY mess up your QlikView installation if you don't know what you're doing!" ***
Hope this helps,
Scott
