Opened file(through FC) not visible in Win7 "last used file"

In win7 you can see the last used files (Start / "Last used" /)
Typically the *.txt files I opened using FC(doucle-click on file name), are not visible under Start / "Last used" /
NB: If I open the files using the Windows-Explorer, I can see these under Start / "Last used" /.

It's not a new behavior, I think it's not a bug, I like this behavior, if it would be changed, then there should be an option to decide if we want to store the item in the "last used" list.

I don't understand why you like this behaviour ?
You want to keep the open files secret ?

Why FC should make unimportant actions (for me) and slow down the system? Yes, I like the privacy too and I don't like if Windows stores something by default even if I didn't ask "him" to do it.

Another reason (not my case) to NOT store the last opened items is, when multiple users use the same computer, parents, children, I think it's enough to explain it.

Of course, I'm not against the option which would store the last used items, but it should be disabled by default IMO.

Just a note: Files opened from FC appear in the "Recent Items" list in Win7.
That being the case, I don't understand what the problem is if they are not also listed in "Last Used."

I am doubtful that this is actually a "bug" in FC. It may be that the "Last Used" list includes only those items opened in Windows Explorer.
