Heh! That rings a bell - I guess I know what's broken (at least in your 
case).

In the Recent Files list, POV-Ray not only stores the file names, but 
also some additional information: Last cursor position, stuff like that. 
And the syntax highlighting language.

Normally, you should be able to correct this by opening the file, 
selecting "Options / Editor Window / Editor Preferences", and in the 
"Language/Tabs" pane change "Language" from "<none>" back to "POV-Ray".

Alternatively, you can...

(A) edit the registry manually (ideally closing POV-Ray first of 
course); you find the lists at:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\POV-Ray\v3.7\POV-Edit\Open
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\POV-Ray\v3.7\POV-Edit\Recent
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\POV-Ray\v3.7\POV-Edit\Older

The third-to-last field of each entry encodes the syntax highlighting 
language; change this from "0" (no highlighting) to "POV-Ray" for the 
offending file.

Or (B) open and close 40 different files, which should flush the 
offending entry out of the lists.
