  1. Programs creating unwanted files in "Documents"


    I have recently bought a MSI laptop and I have been facing a few problems. Some of the programs I have on my computer MATLAB, Aspen HYSYS, Custom Office Templates... are creating files on my "Documents" file. I don't want those files, and they become very annoying, bacause if I erase one of them, the program creates another one. How can I stop the program from creating those files?

    help in creating a simple program

    Hi Yin,

    If all you are going to do is copy and paste, it would be much simpler to just create a text file with all of your responses listed alphabetically in it, and copy from that.
    You could just leave the text file open on your desktop.
    Then if you have new ones they would be much easier to add than if you use a program.

    Just my opinioin *Wink Programs creating unwanted files in "Documents" ;)

    Are my Registry Files all legitimate programs?

    Isn't there a web tool whereby I can check if programs listed in my REGISTRY FILES are legitimate programs?

    Programs creating unwanted files in "Documents"

    Wrong "remove from list" document on word mobile.

    Hi,

    To further assist you with your concern about re-enabling files that were removed from the Recent Documents List in Word, we suggest to follow this steps:

    • Click the FILE tab in the program.
    • Click Options from the list on the left side of the screen.
    • On the Word Options dialog box, click Advanced in the list of options on the left.
    • On the Advanced screen, scroll down to the Display section. Select the value in the Show this number of Recent Documents edit box. You can choose to change the value to 0 to disable the list.
    • When you open Word, or select the Open option in the program, there are no documents in your Recent Documents list.
    • To re-enable the list, go back into the Word Options dialog box and enter the desired value (from 0 to 50, inclusive) in the Show this number of Recent Documents edit box on the Advanced screen. If any documents were previously displayed in the Recent Documents
      list, they are added to the list again.

    We're just here if you have further questions.

    Regards.
