Default Windows Recent Documents List

We all know that Windows XP has a "My Recent Documents" list.

This consists of a folder into which Windows places links to files that have been recently accessed.

Question is - are there any duplicate places in Windows where this list is also kept - ie a clone list?

Say for example the main "Recent Documents" folder is emptied out (wiped) - is there anywhere else on the hard drive that Windows stores a back-up copy of what was in this folder?

In short the answer is No. The only place would be "Recent documents".

But as for System restore, I think by memory it does restore files and programs to the date of restore.
