Select all data/text. (Ctrl-A should do that...) Delete. (Hit Delete key.) Save file. File "cleared" without deleting. Why one would want to -do- that is beyond me, but there it is. Lang |

| | Re: Clearing recently changed file Hi Ronnie, Thanks for the info on deleting the 'Recently Changed' folder which I've done successfully. However I'm not sure how I go about re-creating this folder in the advanced search options should I want to do so in the future. Could you give more details on how to do this please? Thank you.
