after deleting projects they still remain greyed out in the open recent tab...a bit of a visual nuisance....is there an easy way to clear the tab?

On OS X - User / Library / Preferences / Ableton /

Windows ?

Anything set up in the Preferences will go back to their default settings : )

no, mac

strangely, in my preferences folder there is no folder named "Ableton" and also no plist files with Ableton or Live in the filename.

Are you looking in your User directory? Not the root Library.... It is not a .plist, it is called Preferences.cfg.

sorry i'm struggling with this one.

library only appears under the main root directory

by user i assume you are referring to the name that appears with a house icon in finder

Yes, your user name - Home ƒ.

that's because the ~/Library folders are hidden in the Finder by default in Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion).

there are a few different ways to get there, the easiest is to hold down the Option key while clicking on the "Go" menu in the Finder. an entry for your user Library will then magically appear...

I was just about to respond again, since it dawned on me that he might be on 10.7 Lion.

Fishmonkey mentions the easiest way... Here are more
