What is DocLimit?

What is DocLimit?  DocLimit is a utility that limits the number of “recent” document files that appear on your Windows 95 Start menu. See Figure 1, below.  Without a utility such as DocLimit, the recent documents list will continue to grow as you launch files.  Without DocLimit, your only option is to remove all documents when the list becomes too large.

DocLimit allows you to specify exactly how many documents remain on the documents list.  You can even have DocLimit keep the list empty if you so desire.  DocLimit resides on the Windows 95 system notification area or “tray.” See Figure 2, below.

Why is 15 the maximum number of documents?

Why is 15 the maximum number of documents?

This is because Windows 95 only shows a maximum of 15 documents on the recent documents list.  It would be silly for DocLimit to allow more documents than Windows 95 itself allows.
