I remember seeing some packages that allow you to define the number of 
"recent documents" are kept in the queue.  I never seen the "permanent" 
one, but that would be an interesting thing to have.  That way, if you 
are actively working on editing and updating documents on a regular 
basis, you do not have them removed from the "recent" list because you 
were required to do some other more pressing and time sensitive work. I 
wonder how it might be done.

Also, it would be nice to be able to clear the list from time to time to 
keep other users of a "shared" system from "snooping" into what work you 
are doing for others.  I knows this might dealt with only using "user 
accounts" that "point" to user only folders, but I have worked at places 
where you did not have that ability of keeping your work away from the 
other users of the system.  Even if you used thumbdrives to store the 
data files, the other users could access the list of files you worked 
on.  Wiping work history would be a good thing for some.
