Removing "Most Used Applications"


How do I remove items from Most Used Applications? The Menu editor edits the Applications, but apparently not the top part, the Most Used ones. In particular, I successfully removed the card games from "Games," but they remained at the top since I played a game.

Thanks.

Thanks, guys, that works - sort of. I would like to keep the list while removing one item from it. Something like in Win XP (I know I shouldn't) "Remove from this list." I just want to purge that card game! Vlad

Not sure which version of KDE you're using ... I'm running 3.5, which is the latest, and I can't remember whether previous versions did it the same way.

But this is how to do it in 3.5:

Go to the control center.
Select "Security & Privacy" menu.
Select "Privacy" option.
This takes you to a page with a list of options with checkboxes:
The top option in the list is "Quick Start Menu"; this is the one you want...
So unselect all the others, and hit the Clean Up button, and your recently used list should disappear.

Hope that helps.

Lack of details and some assumptions on my side, sorry. Assumption is the mother of all errors
