Object Bar (or Windows?) question
Tuesday, March 25, 2003 by ac4000 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Hi. I have been using WindowBlinds 3.5 under Win2K (SP3) for a while, and was happy to finally take the purchase plunge a few weeks ago. But now I am trying ObjectBar, and although it is nice to have another nice pile of powerful features, I am opening a big can of worms too.
For instance, I am using the WinXP OB theme, the last on the list of bundled themes. Obviously, the Start Menu turns into the type often found on true WinXP desktops. But I can't find where to clear the list of recently used documents. (I can't find the list itself either, but that's another issue)
Anybody have tips on where I can look for this info?
Thanks in advance.

Please help...
In Windows 2000, without ObjectBar, I can go into the Start Menu -> Settings -> Taskbar and Start Menu -> Advanced and clear my Most Recently Used (MRU) documents list. But WITH ObjectBar, I don't see this function. Can anyone tell me where it is?
I have looked on the Web and the only other way to clear the list is to have a registry tweak which does this upon shutdown or reboot. But I don't want to have to reboot just to do this!

Well this may not be the answer to Objectbar, but you can certainly download free tweak utilities that can clear the documents without re-boot.
As mentioned above though, Objectbar only mimics the look of a bar. Whatever functionality it maintains is up to the skin creater.
