Lightroom Desktop: Ability to remove non-user content (tutorials) from Home screen

Hi Cristen, please explain in details what you are doing to remove / hide this tutorials?

Oh, I just keep a folder of around 15 JPEG files that I can add. When my Prefs get reset and I've got all their interface instead of Recents, I simply select all the files (Finder or Bridge), open them in PS, then close them. Now they fill the home screen.

If we could control our Recents list better, pinning what we don't want to scroll and selecting to remove what is essentially clutter, we'd have a much better experience, but this at least has put images I enjoy seeing in my Home Screen right away. Then the usual scrolling with my work-related files starts to take place.

Oh, it's probably also significant that my Recent File list is set to 30 in File Handling Preferences. I can't remember what the default is, but you do have to add enough to fill your initial view with just their menu items at the top. For me, 10 images actually is as much as I can see on my 15" retina, and I add a few more than that. A bigger monitor I suppose needs more files to fill that space, but I get no warning if I set Recent files to hold 50 files, so you can probably play with it to see how many you need to add.
