At the (fantastically awesome) LAVA/OpenG BBQ, someone (apologies to whoever it was, I forget who - sometimes I think I'm the Dory character from Finding Nemo) asked about getting more recent projects in the GSW. Stephen Mercer / Aristos Queue had provided modified versions of the VIs to do this in 8.6.
I added a config token for this in LV2009, so you no longer need the modified VIs. It's MaxGSWRecentProjects=10 (or whatever other number you want. We never display more than 10 recent files, though).
