Remove items from the recent project OR recent file menu.

Do you ever notice? when you open a VS solution or a file in VS, it is added in the File->Recent Files or File->Recent Projects menu. what if i change the solution name or move/delete the solution from the directory and go to the VS and try to open the solution while it is actually moved to some other directory or deleted and the following message is shown, quite some times fighting. What to do it should not be in the Recent file/project list

"The project file or web has been moved or deleted and is not in you computer"

Go to Start->Run->regedit then select the following for project list
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\ProjectMRUList

for files list select

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\FileMRUList

you will see all recently visited project/file of VS. Simply delete any one to have it removed from the list, just restart the VS and check the menu. The same project/file has gone from the list

Note: Must restart VS
