Correcting or deleting Windows Recent files list
I am a new member to this forum; just joined today.
Windows 10 Home 21H1
At another forum in November, I was provided a link to a batch file that would remove the recent file list from my Quicken task bar icon. It did indeed do that, but it also must have disabled that capability for Quicken as here several days and uses later it has not repopulated. Other apps are still working normally. The batch file was written by Shawn Brink. I tried to send msg to Shawn but was denied. Shawn, can you help me? The batch file is below.
