Entries in recently opened list are discarded

I use an external file system. It is safer. Sometimes, Windows decides it isn't going to remount the external file system right away. So when Photoshop comes up, it finds that the recent file I want to open cannot be found. After manually remounting the file system, it is there, but Photoshop has cleverly decided to remove that entry from the recently opened list. Except that doing that is not particularly clever. I'd report this on Adobe's bug reporting system, but Get Satisfaction is not satisfactory in their login behavior. I've registered, I can successfully go through their login process, but the submission page will not recognize my being logged in. I've reported this issue to Get Satisfaction, but they told me directly that Adobe pays their bills (implying that they do not care). Someone with an actual contact with a real Adobe person ought to run this up the line. That cannot be me because I have no official way to contact Adobe.
