When I first installed ID 6 I must have opened the Button Library just to look, and ever since it's been in the open recent list, usually as #1, though during the course of a session it will move down, or even off, the list, but the next time I open ID it will be back at #1.
I've even trashed the Saved Data file, and everything else on the list is gone, but there it is when I restart: Button Library.indl.
I don't wish this on anyone else, so don't try this at home unless you need to open a library, particularly that one, anyway, but would someone who uses libraries be willing to open one, shut down ID, then restart, open at least 10 more docs to move it off the list, shut down and restart again, and let me know if the list stays the way you left it?

Can't get rid of Button Libray in Open...
That open recent list, on the welcome screen at least is awful.
Bob
Can't get rid of Button Libray in Open...
I never use the welcome screen -- this is in the application file menu.
Peter, have you perchance pushed this library into a panel, causing it to open every time you use InDesign, and
therefore appearing at the top of your recent list?
k
Interesting thought, but no, at least not any panel in my workspace, so none that is open when I start ID. And I can't imagine I would have added it to any other panel group, either.
I have the same thing -- button library always on the applications recent
files list. I'd also like to get rid of it.

What happens if you move the button library to where InDesign can't find it. Do you get a file open error when you start
InDesign? If you do, then it sounds as if InDesign is actually opening the library somewhere which is why it's appearing
in the recent menu. If you don't then logic says that it should be pushed gradually down and off the recent menu.

Hi Ken,
What an interesting idea. I just renamed it, and on launch I have a message telling me the file can't be found, and asking if I'd like to postpone recovery, as if the application crashed while it was open. I'm going to tell ID to delete the recovery info and cycle through opening files for awhile to see if it goes away and stays away after renaming it back and opening again.
More later.
Peter
I opened about 15 files to push the library off the list, closed ID, re-opened, the library still was not on the list, so I renamed it back, rebooted, opened ID, opened the library, verified it was again on the list, then opened 11 more files to push it off again.
I've closed and re-opened ID, and it hasn't come back yet, so maybe that was it.
I don't remember a crash with the library open, and if it had, why didn't it recover on the next launch? I do have a vague memory of modifying the library, though, then changing it back, and closing it. Why that would trigger a recovery, and where it was trying to open -- because it certainly wasn't on the screen anywhere -- is a complete mystery.
Cyndi, try renaming the library and re-launching ID, and let us know what happens.
Peter
I've renamed it. I'll watch what happens. And not only have I not had a
crash with it opened or have modified it, but I'm quite sure that I've never
used it.
Cyndee
Did you get any kind of message from ID when you re-started after renaming the library?
Have you tried pushing it off the list by opening more documents?
Yes, I got the same message you did about recovery and declined the
recovery. I haven't deliberately opened enough files to push it off the list
since I know that will happen on it's own within the next day or so, so I
can wait to see if what happens.
Cyndee
Well, after renaming it, I've gotten it pushed off of the recent documents
application menu, but whenever I start ID I am still prompted to recover it.
And, neither the yes or no recovery options work, only cancel, and then I'm
prompted again next time I start the program. How can I get it to stop
asking me?
Cyndee
Are you being asked to recover the old name or the new name?
The old name.
Close InDesign. Navigate to your user profile under documents and settings (or, under Vista, I think it's under roaming) and then drill down to \Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 6.0\en_US\Caches\InDesign Recovery and rename the folder. Relaunch ID and a new folder will be created.
Peter
Thank you. That did the trick.
Cyndee
Well, it's back. I opened one of the default workspaces, Interactive, I think, and the library was docked in one of the panel groups, so now I'll have to start palying games again.
Think I'll be filing a bug.
Peter,
The button library does show up in the open recent list but drops down as expected when opening other files for me. If it's sticking to the top your list it's apparently something specific to your setup.
Bob
It drops down during the course of a session, but reappears at #1 the next time I open ID. Could be an XP problem.
Ah...yes, you're right. Restarting ID does bring it back to the top.
Bob
Well, if it's happening to you, it must be real.
It's also happening to me (Win XP-CS4) and I had never opened that library. Sounds like a bug to me.
It seems to be more insidious than just the open recent list. I had the Buttons panel open the other day in response to something posted here on the forum. The darn thing kept reappearing every time I started ID, even though I made sure it wasn't open when I quit, so shouldn't have been stored in the workspace. I finally reset the space and it went away.
FWIW, I've been having nearly exactly the same problem, so I'm following this thread with interest.
