Adobe Reader 8.1 - Recently Used List
I need to be able to not have any files listed for "Recently Used", before pushing this out. Deleting HKCU\software\adobe\acrobat reader\8.0\avgeneral\crecentfiles has not worked. And can't find anything in Adobe Customization Wizard 8.

I'm afraid your reply is a little over my head. I thought it would just be a registry addition to HKLM\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\Featurelockdown. I'll give more information.
I have an .mst I built using the Adobe Customization Wizard. The Wizard doesn't mention anything about "recently used files". The reason we don't want this feature enabled is due to DMS integration.
In your reply you mention "custom action". I'm not sure what you mean by that. Also not sure about "Active Setup".

Hi Ilewald,
a good place to find info about the Adobe Reader is:
http://blog.stealthpuppy.com/deployment/deploying-adobe-reader-81
However, to remove the recent file menu entry, do the following:
Create a text file called 'HideMenu.js' with the following 2 lines:
app.hideMenuItem("endRecentFileGroup");
app.hideMenuItem("RecentFile1");
copy this file to: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\Javascripts"
Then add the following reg key, if it does not exist:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\AVGeneral"
And this Dword value: 'iMaxMRUCnt' Set it to '1'
This should do the trick.
Regards, Nick

The value doesn't matter because it's listed in the "Featurelockdown" section. So, if it's locked down, end users either don't see it or see it and can't change it. I actually stumbled on this when I was also trying to figure out "Display pdf in browser" option I needed.
And I love the "Damn processing" thing. Did you do that?

OK, excellent.
The GIF was d/l from somewhere...I can't recall where. It may even have been from another forum I used in the past. If you want to d/l it, try http://www.cyberiapc.com/gallery/pic_details.php?pid=209
