Does anybody know how one gets their application to show up on the Windows Start Menu for recently used applications?

In Windows 7 if you open the start menu the main tab holds a bunch of recently used applications. What goes on there seems very spotty, so it's not automatic obviously - somehow the application running has to notify windows to display it self on that list.

Any idea how to do that or what the name of this list is called officially? I can't seem to find the right documentation to do this.

FWIW, it's not Recently Used Documents that I'm after. That's easily accomplished with SHAddToRecentDocs. It's the recent application list which in turn also shows the recent documents (which is really cool).

Any help appreciated,
