Visual Studio 2008 & Windows 7 Recent Files
Apologies for the 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

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:

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