Ted, Have searched the registry for all possible "open Last Project" options and can't find any setting that may hold the list of mru's. Have even tried to find one uniquely named project that would only occur once in the registry if it was held there and can't find that either.
Tools/Options saves to the Registry. Mine is located at the intuitive:
Computer\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-4056148145-4242425167-3015849444-1001\Software\Microsoft\VisualFoxPro\9.0\Options
That just stores the on/off settings of whether to open the last project. The default is 1/on/true if you've never saved Tools/Options settings, so it is possible there is no Registry entry. Hard to believe, though.
I'm pretty sure the MRU is in the foxuser file. I found my foxuser file in a roming profile.
Create a shortcut for VFP and explicitly include a config.fpw file with the -C option and in the config file put RESOURCE=OFF
Somehow and somewhere VFP is picking up this last used list but I'll be damned if I can find it.
Much as we think (and sometimes sing) otherwise, FoxPro is NOT Magic.
It may well be that even with a clean "no last project install" that VFP may still throw a C5 in which case the dreaded Microsoft updates may be the reason but I need to get to that point first.
Of course there is always the option of restoring a backup but that will be the last resort!
At some point that might be necessary.
