Thanks for quoting me ;)

Since this question pops up regularly I had already written a FAQ entry for it as well. See
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_I_have_deleted_a_gnucash_file_from_my_computer._How_c
an_I_remove_that_file_from_the_File_menu.27s_short_list_.28MRU.29_as_well_.3F

Up until a few minutes ago this faq entry was only for gncuash 2.4 and older. I have just 
updated it with the necessary steps to achieve the same on GnuCash 2.6 as well.

Unfortunately I don't know enough about OS X' native preferences format (plists) to detail how 
to make the changes on that platform. If someone knows, please add this to the faq item. 
Thanks.
