    Programs are not remembering the last used file and recently used files lists are inaccurate.


    Having an odd problem. Programs are not remembering the last used file and recently used files lists are inaccurate. A game I play regularly doesn't always load the most recent saved game when I open it up, After Effects and other programs I use for work have inaccurate recently used files lists.Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

    :)

    Recent File List

    for the tweakers out there, In programs like Paint and Flash Stand Alone- is there a command that can be implemented into the registry to stop Recent File List History from displaying on the File Menu of such programs. Like a String, Key Etc? I like to keep my rig from prying eyes. I am using windows 7 pro 64bit.

    Remove-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
    \Applets\Paint\Recent File List" -name file9
    ...

    you get the idea. ( too lazy to put it in a for loop and test it.

    or just open regedit and remove all the fileX from that key.
