I am using Excel 2010 Starter Edition and Windows 7 Home Edition x64.
I want no more places to be saved in Recent Places. For Recent Files there is a setting in settings where the number of recent files can be set to 0, but no such setting is for recent places.
For this purpose I have went to the registry as indicated in kb 983006 and created a key like described there, since it did not exist and set it to 0. Unfortunately Excel does not change its behavior and still saves places into Recent places. After this I ran the Fix it solution from this kb and after setting the number from 25 to 0 it tells me:
"This Microsoft Fix It does not apply to your operating system or application version."
and closes.
This is unexpected since the article says it applies to Excel, Word and PP 2010 without specifying Edition or operating system.
Please help me to disable Recent Places in Excel 2010.
Thank you.
