Hi, I have Quickbooks For Mac, desktop version. I want to hide an old company file from the doc start-up window? I have old company files, and it is too confusing when I login.

I found directions for the online version but not the desktop. Does anyone know how?

Thanks!

Try file>open recent>clear menu. Once cleared you’ll have to browse to the file you want.

Thanks for checking in with us, Jane29.

Everything on your Mac such as documents, pictures, music, apps, and more is organized in folders. We can create a new folder to keep the old QuickBooks company files there. Just choose File on the desktop and click the New Folder option, or press Shift-Command-N. Then, enter a name for the folder and press Return.

Once done, click the Finder icon in the Dock to open a Finder window. From there, put the old files by dragging them to the folder. For more details about this one, visit the Organize files in folders on Mac link for your reference. Just in case you need to restore your company file, check out these articles:
