Yes. You will also have to change UCF version number somewhere in order for this setting to be pushed out to the client computers.

Yes. This is config setting for UCF. Read the WDK Development Guide for more details.

Thanks Johnny. It worked. it cleared Viewed folder. Is there anything for export and checkout folders?

DCTM_Guru

It should clear those out as well; however, I dont know if that feature is only available in latest release.

In versions 6.5 and 6.6 it only clears out the Viewed folder. The checkout folder should be cleaned up as you check in the documents, but we've seen some issues where the checkout folder has files, even after the user checks in everything. Also, if you happen to have a document open when you check it in through Webtop, it will check in okay with no error message, but a copy will remain in the checkout directory until it in manually deleted.
