Dialog Box Save/Open

Question

When saving or opening a file you are promoted with a dialog box, beside the file name there is a text box and beside the text box there is down arrow that will list all your recent saved or open files with it's path, how do I not have them be saved in the drop down list? I know how to disable the jump list in Windows 10 by turning of Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar by the toggle button so that it says Off. That doesn't clear the list that I want it to.

Example in photo (Yes I am aware that is Windows 8/8.1 but I have Windows 10):

Answer 1

Hi, Laura,

this list shows files located in this folder not those one have saved in this program.

Right now I see in Notepad file with xlsx extension thou I saved it not in Notepad but Excel.

Answer 2

True. When I click the down arrow there is files listed there with the path that that I have also deleted that still shows, like the jump list setting that I can turn off I would like to do the same so it doesn't show up when I click the down arrow.

Answer 3

Hi, Laura,

can you describe the exact steps to reproduce problem?

What I did. Ran notepad, created an saved 123.txt file. Than Save as, type 1 - Notepad shows 123.txt. I've closed Notepad, deleted this file, than ran Notepad again select Save as, press 1 - Notepad did not show me the name of that file.
