  1. How to get file explorer jump list to show recent folders?


    My file explorer jumplist is just showing the default pinned folders Documents, Pictures, Download, and Desktop. I unpinned them all and they went to recent, but no other recently used folders appear in the jump list. Back windows 8.1 when I opened a file, the folder it belongs to appears in the recent jump list of file explorer.



    How do I make this happen?

    :)

    I'm not trying to pin "Recent Folders" to Quick Access.

    I'm trying to make the jump list look like this:

    Clear the recent list in File explorer

    Original Title[File Explorer]

    When I right click at Windows 10 File Explorer icon on taskbar it shows me pinned and recent items. How to clear the recent list? I tried turning off setting "Show recently opened items in Jump list on Start or the taskbar", and clearing history in file
    explorer under folder options. Nothing worked, list is still there.

    File Explorer Jump List - Is This Normal?


    I have File Explorer pinned to the task bar. The Jump List shows pinned folders and recently accessed folders only. It does not show recent or frequently accessed files. Is this normal behavior, or did I break something?
