Windows 10: Add Recent Folders and/or Links/Favorites to Navigation Pane

I hope I'm not duplicating known information here. I've seen adding shortcuts for these folders to Quick Access, but not rooted in the Navigation Pane. Here is what I've got now:





Critical info regarding display in Navigation Pane was found here:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...(v=vs.85).aspx

Critical info regarding the appropriate flags for display in Open/Save dialogs was found here:

https://www.tenforums.com/general-dis...-vanishes.html

These files work on a per-user basis. This avoids having to deal with Ownership/Permissions issues of the CLSIDs under HKLM.

So here are the files:

Links-Add to NavPane-Per User-32-bit.reg
Links-Add to NavPane-Per User-64-bit.reg
Recent Folders-Add to NavPane-Per User-64bit.reg
Recent Folders-Add to NavPane-Per User-32bit.reg

Fist time adding Screenshot & attachments here -- hope I got it right!

I can only pin one folder to Quick Access, if I try to pin another the first disappears.

I posted reg files that allow you to add Favorites or Recent Folders to the Navigation Pane:

Keith, great job and great work!

Thanks so much for making these instant fixes available.
Two clicks and "Recent Folders" was installed in my NavPane in my local language.

This is going to make my life so much easier!
thanks

You're welcome, Cimaise. It was a fun exercise to figure it out. I learned a lot in the process!

I discovered today that It appears when I go to open or save a Word/Excel (document) file but doesen´t appear in File Explorer screen. is it correct ?
I applied de 2 files for 64 x
See attached de 4 images

 

They should be showing in File Explorer as well...

Can you post an export or screenshot of HKCR\CLSID\{22877a6d-37a1-461a-91b0-dbda5aaebc99}
