Most Recently Used file list

[Roger Upole]

You can use COM to get the recent files folder (Usually c:\windows\recent,
but not always.)
import win32com.client
sh = win32com.client.Dispatch('Shell.Application.1')
rcnt = sh.NameSpace(8)
for rcnt_file in rcnt.Items():
    print rcnt_file

Note that some applications keep their own recent files list.
