AskWoody LoungerJanuary 26, 2004 at 3:20 am #774120If you want to delete only individual entries:
1. Press Alt+Ctrl+Minus (on the main keyboard). The cursor turns into a thick minus sign.
2. Click the File menu & when it expands, click on the item you want removed. Be careful not to click on anything else, because it will remove any menu item while it is a thick cursor. If you change your mind about removing an item, just press Esc.
Cheers,
