#  1) this key maintains a list of recently opened or saved files via typical windows explorer-style common dialog boxes (i.e. open dialog box and save dialog box) 
#  2) for instance, files (e.g. .txt, .pdf, htm, .jpg) that are recently opened or saved files from within a web browser (including ie and firefox) are maintained. however, documents that are opened or saved via microsoft office programs are not maintained. subkey * contains the full file path to the 10 most recently opened/saved files. other subkeys in opensavemru contain far more entries related to previously opened or saved files (including the 10 most recent ones), which are grouped accordingly to file extension.
