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
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.

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.
Tom Young Thanks Tom I created two files x and xx. that works just fine. Mel
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
You probably need to turn on "seach system and hidden folders" to find it. I run XP and that's what worked. It shows up really far down in the search, after looking at almost every other folder.
