Controlling what is stored in Recent Items
New Attach File menu in Outlook 2016 with a Recent Items list and options to insert or link to files from Cloud Storage locations. You can also set this value to 0 to disable the Recent Items list completely. Unfortunately, you can’t directly filter this list but you can control how many items are being shown by setting a Registry value. Is there any way to filter the Recent Items list, limit the amount of files being shown there or get rid of it completely?īy default, and depending on your screen size, up to 12 files are shown in the Recent Items list of the Attach File button in Outlook 2016, Outlook 2019 and Microsoft 365. Most of them are too big to attach anyway.
When I attach a file, I get list of recent files that also includes movies and songs and other items that I will never email.
