CS3 and Recent Files Issue

Since installing CS3 about 2 weeks ago, have had the problem of using Save As to a network path that is not persistent. When starting CS3, it fails to open until network paths in recent files are restored.

It seems to lookup all recent file locations while starting up.

Is there any way to override that lookup?

set the recent file list size to 0.
