Windows excludes some file extensions from that list. .BAT and .CMD are considered executable files. Executables files are not put on the unified Recent Document list.

Sorry if this is too basic, but I can't find the (obvious?) answer: I noticed that Office, PDF and .txt documents are in the list, but when I edit a .BAT or .CMD file (using Notepad or Wordpad), it's not in the list. Is it a MS question? I'm on Windows 8 64 bit. |

The Recent Items menu gets its contents from this folder: %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent By default when you select a file in the Open dialog, it stores a shortcut to the file in that folder. If the dialog (or the program using it) doesn't add a shortcut, then the start menu can't show it. |

Thanks, that explains some of it - but not all: I've tried opening .BAT and .CMD files in several (MS/non-MS) programs, and they are never in the Recent list. If I create a new file a.qwerty and open it in the same programs, it is always in the list. Seems to me as if the .BAT/.CMD filetype is registered somewhere to not appear at all in the list? I know this is not a CSM question... |
