Since you haven't described in enough detail what you mean by "Open a recent file", I will mention another optional feature, in addition to recentf-mode: desktop-save-mode. It records all the files you had open when you quit Emacs, and also the configuration of windows and frames, and restores all that when you restart Emacs. With desktop-save-mode, you don't even need to re-open the previously-open files, as Emacs will do that for you.
