*Recent Documents* Currently the Recent Documents Displays the last few accessed files. I was hoping that this could be more useful with few features.
1) A drop down arrow Next to the Title " Recent Documents" and that the data in the drop down menu contains Classifications / Categories of files. For example Documents, Music, Videos, System Files, Configurations Files and so on. This categories can be decided based on the commonly used file categories. Generally the user will view the last few accessed files in a Normal Recent Documents View. When he selects the Category in the Drop Down Arrow, then the last 5-10 files accessed in that Category will be displayed. For example, if the user selects Music from the drop down arrow, then last few accessed Music files will be displayed and like that. 2) Also a small hyperlink can be show below each file in Recent Documents stating "Check for Similar Recently used files". When clicked the last few accessed files of similar types will be displayed. 3) A privacy mechanism for Recent Documents. Say a Context Menu added to each file stating "Open Privately"(or Something that makes sense). When a file is opened through this mode, the file should not be included in the Recent Documents Item. Also a shortcut can be added to open in Private mode, say like Ctrl+Enter or other key combination. -- Regards, *Vasanth Kumar *
