How to Manage Visual Studio Recent Projects List

This is a small tip on how one can manage or change "Most Recently Used" projects list in Visual Studio - either in the "start page" or "File > Recent Projects" menu. Many times people just want to delete or remove items from that list.

The list is managed in registry under:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\ProjectMRUList

It is possible either to change the registry (be careful here !) or even write a small utility that does the work for you.
