Wrong drawing opens

[katie1994]

A new glitch has been occuring with my Autocad LT 2013. If I go to File and scroll down to the recently opened drawings and select a drawing, often an old drawing opens instead of the one I want. It is always the same old drawing which I haven't worked on in over a year. I don't know what triggers it because it only happens intermittently. But it is always the same drawing that opens when it does happen. And then I have to go to Open and search out the drawing I want because everytime I try to access it through Recently Opened the wrong file opens.

Any ideas?

The file in that list is the wrong one, and since you keep opening it, it's never going to go away from the list.

OPEN and SAVE about a dozen other files, then OPEN the one you want and see if the correct one will now appear in the list.

No, I have been doing that for the past year. It just randomly opens, I don't know what triggers it. The file name is not even in the list of recent drawings.

Weird indeed.

If the file loads, find it in Win Explorer and move it to another location (or rename it) for a test to see if it loads then.  That will prolly get it out of the cycle cause ACAD can't find it to load. Maybe just add   .TEST   to the end of the filename.

I know that there are file structures you want to keep, but this is just for a test.
