    Default Turning off the Startup "Recent files" screen

    I have attached two *.ini files. One from Revit 2008, and one from 2009.
    I understand from searching the forum that there is no off switch to surpress this new feature in 2009. However it occured to me that perhaps by comparing the previous *.ini against the new, then maybe a switch could be found.
    I will post a thread in API to link to this thread, as it may equally answered there.

    If you understand *.ini editing, is switching off the "Recent Files" feature possible?

    Ahhh! It's so simple. Why didn't I spot it before? ~ Slaps forhead ~

    To turn off the Recent files, go to the Windows drop down menu, and deselect the "Recent Files"

    That option doesn't actually turn it off, it just hides it. In the same manner as if you close a view.
    When you restart Revit, the screen will come back at startup.
