Browse Recent Documents...

(OP)
File|Browse Recent Documents presents the same nine files that appear in the Recently Used list in the File| dialog.  
IOW, the default behavior is a mostly useless feature.

It would be much more useful if it presented thumbnails of the last, say, 100 documents used.

Is there a setting to make it do that or something similar?

RE: Browse Recent Documents...

Hit the R key for thumbnail views of the same last 9 items.

I don't know of a way to increase the number of items.

RE: Browse Recent Documents...

Apparently the ability to increase the number of recent items will be added in Win7.
