I've been using 1stPage for several months and am very happy with its operation in most respects.
One minor problem is that I like to use the Re-open feature but I haven't figured out how to edit the list of files<blush>. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks, John

I have no idea why you would want to edit the file directly but its called "history.ini" and its in the same folder as "1stpage.exe". All the files on the list are listed line by line under the heading [RecentlyUsed].
You can also edit the recent search history and web file filters...its an interesting file to look at if your ever drastically bored...but, make a copy of the file before you toy with it, its a nessesary file and if you screw it up 1st Page will have some bad problems...

Thanks Ghandi, your approach lets me hand edit the list which is a big help. It is unfortunate that a mis-edit could hurt 1stPage.
The reason I want to edit the Re-open list is that sometimes I move a file to another directory as part of tidying up and then I re-enter the name which leaves 2 copies of the name with different locations. Then, of course, I sometimes err and pick the wrong one....
I also use 1stPage to make ads for eBay. Generally, I only access them once to create but until now they hung around for a long time in the Re-open list.
For my purposes it would help if 1stPage allowed me to right click on a file in the Re-open list, then provided a list of options including delete. Alternatively, if I could drag a file to the end of the re-open list that would be fine too.
