When generating a report, GenoPro kindly proposes a drop down list of previous report destinations like in the example below.

How can I clear this list?

Humm... GenoPro should have a context menu to delete such entries.

At the moment, here are the steps:

  1. Close the Generate Report dialog.
  2. Open the Registry Editor (Start -> Run -> Regedit)
  3. Locate the registry node HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DanMorin.Com\GenoPro\ReportGenerator and delete the key Path.Output.
  4. Next time you bring the dialog Generate Report, the destinations entries should be empty.

Dan,
I'm gonna be a bit critical because you already mentioned this context menu over 2 year ago (How to clean/purge the Destination Folder list of the Generate Report dialog), in response to my posting 12713, item No 1.
I think no Software Co should invite their own Users to fiddle around with the Win Registry.
Even Microsoft doesn't recommend any Registry Modifs, except eventually by advanced Users.
So shall we expect this Context-menu fairly shortly? I hope this matter is high in your To-Do list!
JC

I'd also rather not mess with the Registry, plus with the solution posted, it wipes the entire list clean while I just want to get rid of 3 or 4 entries.

JC,  sorry for not having spotted your initial posting.  I have some troubles with the (simple) search function which lists the topics but does not link to them (clicking on the hyperlink does nothing in my case).

And yes, I'm also somewhat reluctant of diving into the registry to solve this.  I would prefer to be able to delete the current highlighted entry in the list, or even the complete list if needed.

Regards,
Nand

Never mind Nand.
I personnally did it in order to clean up my Destination folder list.
For the adventurous Users:
1) Close Genopro,
2) Once you are in the Regedit node mentioned by Dan, double click on Path.Output,
3) Remove any unwanted line(s) from the 'Edit Multi-String' panel and click OK.

4) Get out of Regedit with File -> Exit.

Upon starting Genopro, your new Destination list should reflect your cancellation/modif.

This is with Vista. I think it's the same with XP but don't exactly remember.
Cheers,
JC
