In the beginning...
-------------------
Before Document Friend
----------------------
This utility started off life as a small DOS batch file to clear the
recent documents from Windows 95 start button menu as I was getting
annoyed at having to find my way through three or four sub-menus just
to click one button.
After a short while, the original DOS batch file was made into an
executable file, and finally developed into a visual basic version
called Document Easy Delete (DED).
Although this wasn't the cutting edge of software, it served the
purpose for which it was originally written.
Along came the Powertoys from the Windows team which included a
nifty little applet called TweakUI which does a very similar job
(trust someone else to do it!) with the exception that it only
does it when you first log onto your computer, maybe there's still
a bit of room for DED. Hooray...
Next came an improved TweakUI applet which now allows you to
specify where on your system you want your "Recent Documents"
sub menu to put it's files. This caused havoc with DED as it
expected the "Recent Documents" sub menu to be in the default
location and was hard coded into the program, and trying to use
DED when the "Recent Documents" files were moved caused DED
to crash - Hmmph!
Enter from stage left - Document Friend!
