File names in the file menu -

I apologize for I know this must be in countless threads but I just didn't know what to serach for exactly.
When I load a data file into my app I then write a copy of the file name string in a list of the last 4 used files that is kept in an ini file, and I delete from it the oldest entry.
Now, after I've read the 4 file names from the ini file, how can I add them at the bottom of the File menu?
