I find the "my recent documents" on the start menu of XP very frustrating to use sometimes.  I have some files I regulary use but they get overwritten when I am opening lots of pdf's or word docs off the web.  So this type of app may be useful to me.

That was my first thought reading this tease: My Recent Documents on steroids 

* Group recent files by application for selected applications

Not sure how it'll work for the user, but that sounds like a dream! Extend the recent list of office documents past the 9 limit! 

Can hardly wait... justice: you're a dreadful tease!!

Thanks peeps
Well most applications keep either a set of registry keys or a list somewhere of the recent files that you see at the bottom of the file menu after opening the application that's the files I'm talking about with that feature.

There's a farr plugin thread that lists a lot of these locations.

Using them or stealing them?

If it's just using them then the 9 file limit to Office stays 

If it's stealing (or maybe borrowing would be better), then the file limit is extended

I've also seen the RecentFilesView from NirSoft, but it was the ability to keep longer histories that was exciting me 

[justice]

Well i'll look into keeping longer histories

Unfortunately I'll have to withdraw JustRecently as a NANY app, I'll still work on it in the new year as I think it has potential but due to some of the challenges ahead and interest in my other NANY App:, JustCloseSomeTasks I won't have the time to finish two utilities before the deadline. Watch the space for the new year though.

Is that Official? Absolutely no chance??

Sorry this project is pulling out for NANY.
