Post From: RECENT_FILE instead of actual name in recent files list?

Support,

I use many Sierra Chart folders (i.e. instances) at differing locations on the C:\.

Recently I upgraded Sierra Chart to 2757 in "C:\SierraChart_GC_scand\Data\"; but, all of the 'recent' files in the right click menu show "RECENT_FILE" instead of the actual name of the files?

I see 10? duplicates listed on the right click menu--each one shows this specific text: "RECENT_FILE". When I click on one nothing happens.

Yes, I've clicked on "Clear Recent Files List" and it didn't help.

Please advise on how to fix this problem so I can get the names of the files I've used recently to show up and open when I click on their name in the recent list right click menu.

Yes, I can open a chartbook through the "open chartbook" dialogue box. But that doesn't update the Recent Files list with the chartbook name, instead it still says "RECENT_FILE".

Thanks.
