I am trying to find out where the history is stored for the recently opened files in WordPad. Is it built into WordPad or is it a log file?
This is off the top of my head. I've seen history lists in the following places:
ini files
log files
and registry entries.
Word stores it in the registry:
HKCU\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\word pad\recent file list
Cheers,

PS MS puts most of that type of info in the registry
The same problem to me now, I found files what you suggested but nothing.
Then I would say stop using what you use or do to that cleans out recent used.
