Recent articles: is it possible to retrieve a list of recent items passed?

Is it possible to retrieve a list of recent past items.  I am trying to determine if a file has been accessed and then removed from the list of recent items.  If possible, how do you do that?

The list is stored in C:\Users\\Recent and there may be different lists for each user.  There is no real way to know if an item has been removed from the list, unless it is in the trash (which is unlikely).

To check the Ffichier, go to Windows Explorer and navigate to the file that you are concerned about. Right-click on the headers, click more and add the access Date column.  Then you can see the last time someone accessed the file.  It's just as good as the list of recent files to find out when a person access to a file (and it cannot be deleted without deleting the file).

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • Recent items no longer appear in expose / Mission Control / Application Windows cover flow

    Until very recently, when I accessed the service "Windows Application" through the presentation, the bottom of the window of Mission control would reveal a row of recent items from the app in use.

    Now it always shows recent items, but this list does not update accurately. The ' file > open recent item ' menu is exact, but recent Articles in the statement do not match this list and are not updated with the most recent articles.

    I found a few posts on this topic of 2012, but they are a little dated, and none of them received very clear answers.

    I use El Capitan on a 2.6 GHz MacBook Pro.

    Can anyone help with this?

    I tried to reset the permissions and reindexing of these records. This doesn't seem to work.

    Leave everything, stop, start in Safe Mode, log on and check how things work, then restart normally.  The safe boot through Mode erases caches and (temporarily) disables modules, and which erases sometimes bizarre behavior.

  • Preferences of recent items returned to zero, without saving the changes

    I noticed yesterday for some reason, the drop-down list of recent items in applications such as TextEdit and Pages no longer displays anything. I went into System Preferences and chose 10 recent Articles, but it did not save my changes. That is, after I closed and reopened the system preferences, he once more had no selected for the recent items box.

    No idea how I can restore recent?

  • Retrieve the list of available control values IOName/IVILogicalName

    Is it possible to programmatically retrieve a list of all values of an IOName control (or more precisely IVILogicalName in this case)? I refer to the list of values that appears when you click the arrow on the menu drop-down control. For example, if I set the control to NO-SCOPE (IVI select class-> IviScope-> niScope) from the drop-down list shows only the names of the bodies that are present (for example, "PXI2Slot6"), including the sessions 'duplicate' (e.g. ' PXI2Slot6 (1) ").


    I can get the value currently selected control quite easily, but I would like to get a list of all available values. Is this possible? Values are just there in the control as surely there must be a way to access.

    My goal here is to find a way to recover all sessions IVI and then close them. If there is another way to do this, I'd be happy to hear it.

  • Recent items in Vista does not update correctly

    I have a problem that the recent items on the Start Menu is not updated correctly.  There are a few documents out there, but there are many who don't are not who should be.  If I right click on the recent items and choose explore I can see a lot more files in the C:\Users\Pete\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent folder.

    For example, there are few. XLS and. DOC files that I opened recently but don't are not.  However when I explore the folder I can see a shortcut to the directory that contains the missing files.

    I tried many combinations of physically erase the folder, by activating / disabling the option elements recent etc, but nothing helped.

    Thanks in advance

    I had the same problem. I fixed it by deleting all entries, except the default entry, in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RecentDocs in the registry. There are a bunch of other entries which are numbered for each of the files in the list of recent items. and the entrance to MRUListEx. Delete it all. Unfortunately, there is no file name but only entered, HEX numbers and letters. After doing this, Windows has started listing the files in recent Articles that were not show up there before.

    I found that the problem has followed a couple of files that were present in recent Articles when I cleared the list a few weeks earlier. After these files are not present in recent items, but rather the shortcut to the folder appears. Also, I've found that the problem was with the actual files, not the folder. I opened the 2 files, Excel, and a Word document and choose Save under and added a 2 to name the document, save an exact copy of the documents. Each copy has appeared in recent and open items without any problems. Copies of rename the original name and overwrite the originals, reduced the problem. I searched the registry files to see if there's information about save them in a special place, but nothing found. They were only listed in the MRUlists for each of their applications, showing other open documents recently Excel and Word.

    Since I had made changes to the documents and saved the changes in copies that end in 2, I chose save as once again and replaced the original files with updated copies. Now my original files, with the update of information, see and open from the list of recent items.

  • Recent items does not properly

    Over the last day or two, I noticed items missing from my list of recent items that are usually there. Some articles like the photos appear still but others, such as spreadsheets, are no longer there and are not visible. I also noticed that in the list of recent items and there description (?) on the top of my documents file in addition to the file name (i.e. documemtname.xls). It's new and I don't know why it's there or if it affects anything. I tried restoring the system running, but he failed twice. I deleted the recent items and it did not help once I opened the files. When I checked the location of the folder the recent items, it seems to be adding to the file but not in the menu. I'd like to be able to solve this problem I use some files of almost every day and I now have to start a search.

    See if you can get the system restore to work, so that you can correct other problems.

  • Recent items in Windows 7 64 bit will display recently played .flv files but not show .avi or .wmv

    Recent items in Windows 7 64 bit will display recently played .flv files but not show .avi or .wmv

    How can you do recent items don't forget these past .avi and .wmv files

    Hello

    You can change some values in the registry. To do this, copy / paste the following text in Notepad, save it as a MP3WAVRecent.reg file and double-click this file to add it to the registry database:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMP11. AssocFile.MP3]
    "EditFlags" = hex: 00, 00, 01, 00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMP11. AssocFile.WAV]
    "EditFlags" = hex: 00, 00, 01, 00

    Note that plus save recently used for the Jumplist instead of frequently used must be checked in the Options of WMP - player, as well as the music at the bottom of life private tab.
    Note: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  • How to clear recent items then right click on the Acrobat tab on the taskbar?

    When you right click on the Acrobat tab on the task bar, you've been given some options like the Pin this program to the taskbar, close this window, etc...

    Anyone know how to clear all recent items when you right-click on the Acrobat tab on the taskbar (see photo below)?

    "Remove from this list" option deletes only a single document at a time. Does anyone know how to remove it at once? Recent Articles that appears when you right-click on the taskbar is probably called jump list.
