Visual Studio 2008 & Windows 7 Recent Files

Apologies for t开发者_开发百科he non-programming question, but does anyone know how to get Visual Studio 2008 to list projects in the Windows 7 Recent Files list instead of the source files it lists by default?

Here's another way to workaround without a Registry edit. Get to your frequent Visual Stuio projects fast...

This has the advantage of not being specific to a Visual Studio Version

You should have a "Recent Projects" menu option right below "Recent Files" that shows projects and solutions.

File > Recent Projects

That functionality has to be supported by the application (by implementing specific Win7 task list API). If Visual Studio supports it it would be in the options somewhere. I can't find it so I guess we're out of luck for this version of VS. Hopefully VS2010 has better support for this cool feature.

Ah, but I was wrong, here is a way to kind of indirectly hack it:
