HD39105: MRU RECENT FILES LIST MANAGED BY CNEXT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH M ICROSOFT STANDARD

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• MRU recent files list managed by CNEXT is not
  compatible with Microsoft Standard
  1. When you start CNEXT.EXE you have a list of
  previously opened files
  2. Within windows you have a similar feature in the
  start menu. This feature can be enabled/disabled
  by an entry in the registry.
  3. Now, CNEXT.EXE uses exactly the same registry
  key but in a wrong way:
  "Value of   CNEXT.exe
  NoRecentDocsHistory" behaviour
  -----------------------------------------------
  - key does not exist - Show recent files
  1   Do not show
  recent files
  0   Do not show
  recent files
  "Value of   expected
  NoRecentDocsHistory" behaviour
  -----------------------------------------------
  - key does not exist - Behaviour is OK
  1   Behaviour is OK
  0   Show recent files
  .

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON CATIA VERSION 5
  RELEASE 16 GA level.
  MRU recent files list managed by CNEXT is based
  upon a windows explorer registry key. The problem
  is that only the existence of the key is tested
  without checking its value.
  Now, the value is tested if the key exists.
