Can you see further back in your file history than the "open recent files panel?"

[#1]

Is there some sort of master log of files that can be opened that goes further back than the list in the File>Open Recent Files tab? I am trying to figure out where I saved an illustrator file and it is like finding a needle in a haystack. I have opened too may other illustrator files to see it in my recent history. Please help! You would think there would be some sort of directory within the Illustrator program files saved on my computer that I could go into to see this. I have CS6.
