All you have to do is go into the File Handling, change the display to 0, click OK, then reopen File Handling and change the display back to whatever it was and then click ok.

I want the list to re-populate and I also want to keep my prefs.

Scripts, anyone?

You won't lose the other preference settings it you delete only the InDesign SavedData file. If you're worried, make copies of both SavedData and InDesign Defaults so you can replace them.

Oh, I missed that detail even though your instructions were very clear. Thanks.

If you just want to clear the list, but have it rebuild ad new files are opened, one easy way is to delete the InDesign SavedData file from your prefs set. See Replace Your Preferences
