    Add Recent Places/Folders to File Explorer taskbar Jump List


    I've read almost all the threads related to this subject.

    I would like the right-click jump list on the file explorer icon in the taskbar to show a Recent Folders section.

    I don't want Frequent Folders.

    I don't want Recent Files

    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.

    Add Recent Places/Folders to File Explorer taskbar Jump List

    The best solution I've seen is in opening a Folder in File Explorer, right-click the Folder icon on the Taskbar, click the Folder desired and Pin it, moves it from Recent up to Pinned.

    That's not what I was asking how to do unfortunately.

    My Jump List doesn't even have a Recent Folders/Places subsection. It only shows a "Pinned" section (Top portion of screenshot above).

    Mine is 10.0.15063.

    Right click to get recent folders was a huge productivity booster for me. I hope we can figure out how to do it.

    Mine shows as the first post picture. Win10 64bit Pro ver 16299.334 is what I am running. It is pretty much a clean install.

    Mine seems to be working okay now, curiously.

    Yesterday I went to File Explorer | File | Change Folder and Search Options.

    Then Restore Defaults / Clear file explorer history / Make sure both privacy boxes are checked / Open File Explorer to This PC.

    Today it works!!!!! There is a recent folder section!! It defies understanding.
