I have the habit of often browsing directly to the file/directory I want and opening it from there, which doesn't register with Illustrator as a "Recent" file. Bummer! Astute observation :)

You are right though..there are usuallly files I haven't looked at since 5 days ago. That's probably because there's a queue that needs to be filled or something?

So for instance if you open "test.jpg" it will show up, but if you save an edited version as "test1.jpg" it won't be in the list because you haven't actually opened that file yet, you just saved it. And images created from scratch also won't show in the recent files because you didn't open those either. Again just from my observation. More than a little late for a comment...
