There are several ways to get most recently launched application that average users are not aware of. Windows operating system includes few options to find out what its users have been doing recently starting from those temporary folders, time stamps of files, history and log files, the index.dat file and some information that are deeply hidden in the Windows Registry. Each time that you start a new application, Windows automatically extract the application name from the version resource of the exe file, and stores it in Registry key known as the 'MuiCache'.


Today I will share a utility called MUICacheView, that you can use to easily view and edit the list of all MuiCache items on your system. You can edit the name of the application, or alternatively, you can delete unwanted MUICache items



To use MUICacheView, simply run the executable file - MUICacheView.exe. The main window of MUICacheView displays the list of all MUICache items. You can select one or more items and use the 'Delete Selected Items' option to delete them. You can also use the 'Properties' window to edit the application name of single MUICache item.
