Hi, my name is Rob, and I have a problem. I do not play enough StarCraft 2. Do you know how your Windows Start (er, I guess it's not "Start" anymore) menu can be set to show your most recently used programs? Today I opened mine, and my heart sank when I noticed what's on my list.

Yes, you saw that correctly. Paint is above SC2. I can understand Notepad; Notepad is a useful piece of software. I've opened Paint maybe half a dozen times since I last formatted my PC. I literally play SC2 so little that it's fallen below a program I hardly use.

I'm going to go play SC2 now.

Edit: Sorry, I messed up the link to the screencap. It should be fine now.

I dont't think I even have Sc2 on my start bar :| But I have it as a post it so I can just click it that way. It's no big deal. I'm sure you'll log into a big fat bonus pool and be happy!

Mine is..

Steam
Starcraft 2
Sins of a Solar Empire
Blackmagic Media Express
3ds max
uTorrent
Media Splitter Settings
Filezilla
Camtasia
Paint

A few interesting notes about this.

First of all, I've run paint all of twice in the year I've had this windows installation.
Sc2 gets run once a week at most.
3ds max has been started once in the last month.
Camtasia gets used more regularly than steam.
Media Splitters Settings is for Haali when I was troubleshooting being unable to rip AAC audio out of mkvs with audition yesterday.
Blackmagic media express hasn't been run more than once in over a month... same with Sins.

1. starcraft2 2.spotify. 3.skype 4. heroes2gold.then a bunch of paradox games, teamspeak and speedfan. Does anyone know what affects the list precisely? seems kind of erratic, like speedfan and heroes2 i don't even play that much, I'm sure i played other games more than that~~

Yeah, now that I think about it, the list itself makes no sense. Some programs I've run frequently, whereas others have been used recently.
