Well, sort of.

GC does have a list of "Recently Opened" files - (possibly) the last 4 data 
files that have been read.

However, that list is stored with the other settings & prefs, which Linda 
reports are not being "remembered", which points to some problem with gconf.

Linda - do you have any "odd" characters in your Windows login name, such as 
spaces or punctuation?  I don't use Windows, but IIRC this has caused an 
issue in the past.  (the same may be true for the complete path to the place 
where you stored the GC data files - if any of your folder names have spaces 
or colons or ampersands etc, it may be cause the preferences to not be saved)

HTH,
Maf.
