DR. Mac,

One sure way to "reset" your "Open Recent Files" is to trash your preferences [YOURUSERNAME > Library > Preferences >Finale 2005 Preferences] after quitting f2k5. When you restart Finale afterwards, you'll find the "Open Recent Files" button greyed out & the dropdown list empty. Of course, you'll need to reset some settings [MIDI for one, right off the bat]. Upon quitting Finale again, it will happily replace your trashed preference file with a new one if you've got it set up to do so, which I think it is by default [Finale 2005a menu > Preferences > Program Options > Save > check "Save Preferences Upon Quitting Finale"]. If there's a less radical way to do this, I haven't found it yet.

I'm not sure I understand your question -- Pete may have already answered it in his reply above. But you may be saving copies of your file instead of saving OVER the old copy. The way to turn this off is:

Options > Program Options > Save > Uncheck "Make Backups When Saving Files"
