Calibre Viewer "recent" list
When you have the viewer open and right click its icon, it shows a "recent" list of books you have opened.
You have the option to "remove from this list" for each individual item. But it seems endless Is there a way to delete more than one (or the entire list) and is there an option to choose how many books show on that list? Have searched and can't find an answer. Thanks! |

I'm sorry, I don't understand. Do you mean when I right click the icon? It only shows a list of books, "calibre worker process" (which causes a window to flash briefly), and options to pin to taskbar and close all windows (which closes any OPEN windows, but does nothing about the list).
Thanks . |

AFAIK there's no easy way to clear a specific Windows MRU List. You could hack the registry or use one of the swiss army knife clean up utilities. BR |

I was referring to the Viewer Icon ON THE CALIBRE MENU.
You (and most people) really do not have the skills to be editing the Registry, if it was a Windows Icon. That can cause a lot of grief if done wrong . |

Thanks, both of you.
Yes, the icon on the taskbar. |

Edit: see Post 10
If you have Windows 10 Pro, you can turn them all off with the Group Policy Editor, viz: I've never understood why MS provides a point and click gadget for users of Pro whilst requiring Home users to fart-arse around with the Registry. BR Last edited by BetterRed; 06-22-2024 at 05:36 AM. |

Group Policy Editor is very powerful and can be extended with multiple admin templates but it is not for the faint of heart. |

There should only be 3 versions of windows. Pro/Stand-alone, Enterprise/remote managed and Server. The Home editions are evilly crippled.
