Windows app that shows a list of last documents saved??

I'm looking for some utility (either within Windows NT or third party) that shows me a list of, say, the last 10 documents I have saved. This would include Office documents or third party programs.

My apologies in advance if this is obvious, but I haven't been able to find anything like this.

Thanks,
Kara

You could always search My...

You could always search My Documents for files modified in the last week, and then sort based on modification time, right?

On the Mac I would set this up as a smart folder in the Finder, but there doesn't seem to be a persistant search in Windows Explorer.

I'm sure someone has a better answer than this, fear not.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
