Did you know... How to customize the number of items shown in the recent files lists? (and where to find those lists) - #111

Yes, you’ve guessed it, we’re in a series of related tips… with the lowest common denominator being the Tools – Options – Environment – General page.

Today’s tip we’re going to look at the Recent Files options, starting with the number of files to be shown in the Window menu.

And with the option set to 3, we get only 3 items in the Window menu
