Using Quicken 2009 deluxe I have 4 files displayed under FILES in upper
line.
How can I reduce this to display only 2 files? I can do in Excel and Word
but can not find where to change that in Quicken.
TIA
Mel

I don't think it can be done. I believe the 4 file display is hard-
coded into Quicken.

As a work around you could create a couple of new Quicken files with
nothing in them and then open these two files and the 2 you want to
display. That way any other (non-sophisticated) user would think
there's only 2 "real" Quicken files.

Hi, Mel.

You didn't say which Windows version you have. I'm running Quicken 2010
Deluxe now, in Windows 7. Your file path may be different if you are using
WinXP.

Look in C:\Users\RC\AppData\Roaming\Intuit\Quicken\Config\QUSER.INI. This
is a plain text file and can be edited with Notepad or another text editor.
The top entry is [Recent Files]. There are 4 entries there, but my "3=" and
"4=" are blank. When I open Quicken and click File, only my 2 recent files
are shown.

Sorry I am using XP pro sp3.
I searched for anything similar to Quser.ini or config and did not see
what I needed. I will use Toms work around above.
Thanks
Mel
