By default, the Window menu shows the 10 most recent files you had open in the File Tab Channel:

Likewise, the "Recent Files" and "Recent Projects and Solutions" on the File Menu only show the last 20 entries:

You can easily modify these numbers (up or down) by going to Tools -> Options -> General -> Recent files:

The minimum value is 1 and the maximum value is 24 for each of the Recent files areas.  Experiment with numbers that suit your taste.

    I actually keep the files and projects lists at 20 (I think they both used to default to 10), though I don't often use more than 2 or 3 projects.  It's useful when I have to open a bunch of projects for various reasons. I can normally open the last project I was working on using Alt-F, J, 1 after a VS crash, when restarting VS doesn't open the last project because the last project is cleared after it's loaded, and then only restored on a clean VS exit.  Switching back and forth between two projects is then Alt F J 2.
