Recently opened files - MRU question 1

[jabruno]

Is there a way to limit the recently opened files list in Illustrator to just one file?

(on a PC)
I just tried to hack the aiPrefs file and there is a line:


}
/maxRecentFiles 10
/warning {
/illegalDeleteKnot 1

and:

/preferences {
/FileList {
/file9 {
/path ()
}
/file8 {
/path ()
}
/file7 {
/path ()
}
/file6 {
/path ()
}
/file5 {
/path ()
}
/file4 {
/path ()
}
/file3 {
/path ()
}
/file2 {
/path ()
}
/file1 {
/path ()
}
/file0 {
/path ()
}
/file0 (C:\\Documents and Settings\\PGS\\Desktop\\Shakers\\shakers3.ai)
/file1 (C:\\Documents and Settings\\PGS\\Desktop\\Shakers\\kapow.ai)
/file2 (\\\\Twinpowers\\image_texture database\\My stuff\\dok project\\dok project\\Booklet\\Print Me\\Package 3.ai)
/file3 (\\\\Twinpowers\\image_texture database\\My stuff\\dok project\\dok project\\Car2 copy.eps)
/file4 (C:\\Documents and Settings\\PGS\\Desktop\\solidsurf2.ai)
/file5 (\\\\Twinpowers\\image_texture database\\My stuff\\solidsurf2.ai)
/file6 (\\\\Twinpowers\\image_texture database\\My stuff\\Solidsurf.ai)
/file7 (C:\\Documents and Settings\\PGS\\My Documents\\art6_6.pdf)
/file8 (C:\\Documents and Settings\\PGS\\Desktop\\JUNK\\flame5.ai)
/file9 (C:\\Documents and Settings\\PGS\\Desktop\\Shakers\\Flashphotos\\flame72.ai)

I tried to change/delete these with no success.

So Im going to say no, it cannot be done.
