display of recently used items

[09_001]

When creating a new Document, the items you used recently will be displayed.
Can I hide this red frame part?

I am using Adobe Illustrator CC 2017 Japanese.

Thank you for your message.

Edit> Preferences> File Handling & Clipboard

This change was only to change the display of the file menu.

I want to change the window displayed when I create [create new].
Is it impossible to erase the display here?

[Omar.Fathy]

Reset your software.

By Clicking Ctrl+Alt+shift in Windows or Cmd+Option+Shift in Mac OS

In Windows: close your software and open it again but when you press to open it you should immediately press Ctrl+Alt+shift for seconds.

In Mac OS: Close your app & open it again and before opening it hold pressing on Cmd+Shift+Alt and keep pressing even you pressed on the app to open.

Thank you for comments.

I tested it.
The file menu display could be grayed out.

I mistook the question way.
I want to delete the recently used tab of [create new].

I think that I can hide it by changing the following files.
C: \ Users \% user name% \ AppData \ Roaming \ Adobe \ Adobe Illustrator 21 Settings \ en \ JP \ x64 \ Adobe Illustrator preferences
(Is not the file in which the setting of the personal environment is written?)

Do you know anything?

but if you reset your software it will remove it.

why would you recommend that? all it will do is remove the items under the tab and cause a pain in the backside.

[Omar.Fathy]

But resetting the application not remove the user customized setting it just reset the defaults for it.

and it will remove the recent opens that he need to remove.

[Doug A Roberts]

he asked how to get rid of the tab entirely, which resetting the prefs will not do.

are you suggesting he reset the prefs every time some recent items build up? that would be crazy.

Thank you for your message.

It is troubling for preferences to be initialized.
So remember as the way of a last resort.

Thank you for your information.

I will perform initialization of the environment if necessary.
Just because preferences will disappear, as a last resort.

I've set the window display of a good easy-to-use CS6 after all.

Thank you very much for your kind consultation.
