There is no simple (or native) functionality in Word to do this. The recovery functionality in Word for this (and it it is not perfect) is not really native to Word either. It uses WINDOWS functions. Yes I suspect you could try and use VBA to come up with a clunky workaround.

First of all I would not try and remember them. Write them down (I am kidding...I assume you were as well. You would in fact write them diown.). You could use the Recent Files collecton, although you are limited to the number in that list.
