Flat view helps in this regard but I agree it's a pain especially when the missing bin is buried in a folder. Hence the flat view trick an AE showed me. Would have never found that on my own. Learn something new all the time.

I suggest it be in the File menu as well, in order to conform to the way other apps work (rather than placing it under the Windows menu). I like the way Photoshop does it. It provides an "Open Recent" menu which gives you a submenu. This keeps the File menu uncluttered. MC could have "Open Recent Bins." I also suggest a Bin Setting, allowing the user to customize how many recently opened bins will appear in that list (maybe with a max of 20).
