I don't believe that is an Inkscape Win32 file. If you google "recently- used.xbel" , it appears this is actually a file used on Linux systems like ubuntu and resides in ~/.recently- used.xbel
I believe Inkscape Win32 stores all recently used files in preferences.xml in the user application data folder. This is all handled by the operating system, and I believe Inkscape just tells it to put data in %appdata%, which gets translated to the following by the O/S {username} \Application Data\Inkscape\ preferences. xml {username} \AppData\ Local\Inkscape\ preferences. xml
- On Windows XP that is C:\Documents and Settings\
- I believe that in Vista that folder is C:\Users\
- {username} can also be "All Users" in XP, and probably the same in Vista, but I don't know for sure.
If anyone else has contrary information, please explain further.
