I have been testing VS2005 RC and as a result, I have built many applications.
Most I am no longer interested in or use and would like to DELETE them from the RECENT Projects list, but I dont see how !
I have been achieving this by manualy deleting the project from IIS, but there's got to be a better way !
Any ideas
cheers,

I access projects that have been installed outside the standard VS Projects path (e.g. nunit sources, Microsoft patterns and practices hands on labs, etc.). Typically I created work copies from these projects in my VS Projects folder. As a result I have two identical project names listed coming from different sources.
Microsoft: Please, add an option that let me remove the unused items from the list using a right mouse click or even simpler, the delete key.

We are sorry to note the inconvenience arising due to VS not having an easy way to clear the recent projects list.
To address your concerns, I wanted to let you all know that we have already identified this problem and its going to be fixed in the next release. The suggested solution is to have a "clear recent projects history" button on the start page.
Please feel free to share any better ideas.
Meanwhile , as someone suggested , you can either edit the registry or manually delete the particular project folder and then while VS fails to open that project , you can choose to not see that project in the recent projects list.

If you continue to use Visual Studio with different projects, only the most recent few projects are shown. So, those that you no longer use will "age off" the list, and be replaced by those that you do use.
If you don't want to wait for that to happen, however, you can clear them out of the registry. The MRU list is stored under:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\FileMRUList <--- File list
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\ProjectMRUList <--- Project list
Know that manually editing the registry is discouraged, and you do so at your own risk.

Then when you try to open the project in the recent project list, visual studio can't find it and ask you if visual studio can remove it from the recent list
ps. I use VS 2005 Beta2

If Microsoft is looking for a deletion or project removal model to use,
they should just look at the the way it is done in Marcomedia Dreamweaver MX.
You can remove, BUT don't actually delete projects. Dreamweaver calls it "sites".
You can remove "sites" and they don't show in the list anyone, BUT still available should you change your mind. You can also choose to completely delete the site.
I think, this is the best of both worlds.

Yes, please do not only a clear list as now is in windows but a selective removal of projects!

Off topic, but related... I moved the location of my Project Store to "C:\Visual Studio 2005\..." , and I'd like my recent projects list to populate with project that are NOT in the default location (C:\Docs&Settings\Username\MyDocs\etc\etc". I can open the projects just fine, but when I save and exit, and re-open VS 2005, my recent projects is empty
Any ideas on how to fix this

If I had a nickel for every time I've wanted to clear that list...
Sometimes I'm working with temporary disconnected projects which have the same names as items in source control in other directories (but I can't see directories easily on the start page); sometimes I'm messing with test or scratch projects that I don't want to have show up all the time. It ought to be easy to remove items from the list or the clear the whole list without having to do it manually in the registry.
VS2005 is a fantastic product, and I'm enjoying playing with it...but I'm astonished that this basic bit of functionality is _still_ not present. Put it in the next patch! (Please )

uhm, maybe I am blind, but in the released version I have still not found an easy way to cleanup your "recent projects" list. I also believe that the way that the list is presented makes people want to be able to mange it. E.g. in office (and many other apps) , the MRU list only appears if you _open_ the file menu. In that fashion, the list is not so "intrusive". In VS, the list is on your _start_ page, and somehow this urges you to have an MRU list with valid items only.
