I'm having a problem opening certain files (file extensions .sql, .ora) from gvim Version 8.2 using the Windows taskbar icon recent files list.
I have associated the .sql file extension with gvim. No problem if I double click a .sql file from my desktop or from Windows Explorer, it opens the file in gvim. Then I right click my gvim icon in my taskbar and I can see the .sql file I just opened in the Recent files list but when I click it I get a message "The item you selected is unavailable. It might have been moved, renamed, or removed. Do you want to remove it from the list?" Of course, the file is still there and I can still open it, but not from the Recent files list. This also happens for files with a .ora extension. Other files with .txt, .sc, .c, and so on work fine (I can see and open them in the Recent list). I've looked in my .viminfo file and see the recent files listed, including the .sql files.
On a different computer running gvim 8.0 on Windows 10, the .sql files work fine.
Any help out there?
Thanks,
Greg H.

. You could start by looking there to see if the files are there or if anything looks out of the ordinary with them.
