>When a GetFile command is issued for a particular file type (PDF, DOC, XLS, etc.), the Combo box fills with a list of most recently written files. Is there a way to programmatically access this list from VFP?

If the list for a specific application is handled automatically by Windows, it is stored in a file in %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations folder. Each application is identified by an signature (for instance, Notepad has the signature "9b9cdc69c1c24e2b", so the file 9b9cdc69c1c24e2b.automaticDestinations-ms holds the list of used files of Notepad. To retrieve this list programmatically, you must know the id for the application, read the file and parse it. The bad news is that parsing is not trivial, since it is a binary file. Windows 10 uses a pattern that eases the parsing, but I don't know if it can be generalized...

Do you mean, accessing the contents of the Downloads folder?
