Hello, 

Just a silly little patch. 

On Windows, when we double-click on a “blend” file to launch Blender with it, 
the OS will 
add that document to its own “Recent Documents” list. However, if we open or 
save a 
document within Blender that list is not updated. This is because we don’t use 
OS-supplied 
dialogs for opening and saving. 

The following patch informs Windows, using “ SHAddToRecentDocs ”, when Blender 
opens 
or saves a document so that the OS knows about them.

On Windows XP these recent items can be seen in the “Documents” list on the 
Start Menu. 
On Windows 7, however, this information is used in new ways. If Blender is 
added to the “Start 
Menu” as a main item it will be shown with a per-application fly-out menu 
showing recent 
blend files. If Blender is “pinned” to the new Windows 7 Taskbar, you can 
right-click on it to 
see a “jump list” that will include these recently-used documents.
