Thanks Gaurav. I haven't used a minus sign. Using "Clear recent items list" finally fixed the problem. Thanks so much for all your help. I wonder why the limit is set to 20? Why not 30 or any higher value. I could probably fit 40+ recent items on the list. Also it would seem more intuitive...

I have set recent programs to be displayed on a submenu (settings > Customize Start Menu > Recent programs, command:recent_programs, track recent items). I have also set the max. # programs to 30 (settings >Main Menu > Max. recent programs: 30). However a week after making these latest changes I sti...

Just a simple suggestion: Add a setting option to show recent/ frequent programs on a sub-menu rather than directly on the main menu. The main menu would just have a menu item "Recent programs". This could allow for optimization of shortcut keys. Thanks.
