(This is not a new trick but just in case you are looking for it.)
Sometimes we create projects just for experimentation and then soon after we are done with the
experimentation, we delete the project from the file system in order not to clutter up our working
environment. But what about Visual Studio? The Start page of Visual Studio has a list of recent
projects and it is meant for a convenient feature. But for the experimental projects that no longer
exist, that list does not really reflect the reality.
To remove the projects from the list, follow these steps:
1. Close Visual Studio if it is running.
2. Start the Registry Editor (run regedit).

2. 3. Navigate to this registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftVisualStudio8.0ProjectMRUList
4. Then delete the key that has the project you do not want to keep in the list.
A little note to keep in mind is that the list only lists consecutive items starting File1. So if in the
above list I deleted File6, then only projects corresponding to File1 to File5 will be displayed in
the recent project list. File7 and above will not be displayed. If in case you like File7 and above
to be displayed, you will need to rename one of the keys so that they form a consecutive
numbered list.

If you are an Advanced User who has priviledges to edit Registry here you go.
Method 1:
Close Visual Studio (if its open)
Start > Run > RegEdit
(Backup registry before making changes)
GOTO
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftVisualStudio<version>ProjectMRUList
remove unnecessary items from list.
If needed reorder your list. File1, File2 etc. Otherwise Visual Studio might not read them
properly.
Similarly repeat the steps for FileMRuList
Method 2:
If you can’t edit registry or not feeling comfortable here is an alternate method.
