Quick Access to more than 4 Quicken data files in Quicken Classic for Windows [edited title]

Please allow us to access our 5 most recent databases instead of 4! We have 5 total databases, and it is such a pain to always have to open one of the databases all the time instead of accessing it when you click File.

    One way to get around this limitation is to create Windows shortcuts to each of your data files.

    You can do that by holding down the shift key and right clicking on the Quicken data file and using the Send to → Desktop(create shortcut)

    Now when you double click on that shortcut it will open that data file.

    I can see where it would be a good idea to allow more than the last four files accessed and voted for this idea.

    However, I use @Chris_QPW method to access my two datafiles. I almost never use the internal list.
