I discovered today that you can set the number of items shown in the Most Recently Used (MRU) list for CRM 4.0's Outlook Client. The default setting is 7 items and I find it just doesn't work for me.

Add the following reg key to our client machine:

Location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSCRMClient
Value Name: MaxRegardingObjectListCount
Type: REG_DWORD

Here is a reg patch for those that love their *.reg files. This patch sets it to 50 items (ie. 32 in hex).
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSCRMClient]
"MaxRegardingObjectListCount"=dword:00000032

Warning: Modifying the registry is dangerous. If you don't know what you are doing them don't attempt it. Ask one of your parents to help out.

The following screenshot shows this config in action. I've blurred the data out for the usual reasons.

About the author

I work for a consulting firm in Dublin Ohio called Affiliated Resource Group. For the last five years I have been spearheading our Microsoft Dynamics CRM practice. I have a deep appreciation for the Microsoft CRM platform and I am very excited about it. You might even describe me as a Microsoft CRM Advocate. I have many battle scars from my experience with the product and I’m constantly being asked questions about CRM and how-to-do something in it. Hence, this BLOG is to help disseminate that knowledge and information to everyone. As of last year I was posting links to many other blogs to help spread the knowledge, but now with the community.dynamics.com doing that for me, I will be following that practice unless a really juicy article catches my eye. Many people have asked where my post are for the first half of 2010, my company had me posting to another blog and maintain two was near impossible. I am now down to just this blog. So good luck and I hope that this blog may help in some way. If you have suggestions or questions, please email me them.
