How to reach Recent Files list with a click from anywhere

Through Customization, you can add the Recent File list to the Document Desktop Context menu so you can reach it with a right-click on empty space on your drawing:

A. Open the Context Menu

1. Click Tools > Options > Workspace > Customization
2. Click Command Bars, and check on the Context Menu

Now you have the Context Menu open with its 3 sections; Workspace, Tools and Selection. You just need to drag the Recent Files command to the Document Desktop Context Menu (under Workspace section).

B. Add the Recent Files List

3. Click Commands under Customizations
4. Under File, look for Recent Files command
   
5. Drag it and hover over the Workspace section (to open its menu) then over Document Desktop and drop it at the bottom of its menu

Notes

• Now since you knew how to add the Recent Files to a Context menu, concider adding it to another Bars or Menus, or adding another commands to the appropriate menu of the tens of Context Menus.
• To add a separator before the Recent Files list, as you dragged the Recent Files command from the File category, drag a Separator from the User Menus category and drop it before the Recent Files list.
