tlampen Thanks, worked perfect! FYI, in step 3, to modify the MRUList value, just right click on the line item then shows the Name: MRUList, then click Modify. Remove whatever shows in the Value data field and input the single letter noted from step 2. In my case it was the letter B, then click OK.
