It works with JAWS. Simply tab around the command buttons to see how it works. Most Windows applications contain a most recently used list. MRU Blaster removes this list, until the next time you use the application. Then the list starts over again. You can locate the web site at: http://www.wilderssecurity.net/mrublaster.html Some applications have a way of turning off the most recently used list. Personally, I like it. I can recall what the heck the last file I edited was, especially if it was spelled oddly. In Excel, choose Tools, Options. Then move to the General page tab. Look for "Recently used file list". It's a check box. You can also specify how many files to show in the list. The default is four. Once done, press Enter to exit the dialog.
