Show or hide Recent Items on the Start Menu/Task Bar

Hi,

On previous versions of Windows, we would be able to hide recent items from the start menu and the task bar. I am trying to hide recent items on the task bar, but the option is no longer there. Can anyone help?

To clarify, what I mean by recent items are the list of files recently opened using a specific program. For example, if I right click on Visual Studio on my task bar, I get a list of all the apps I've been working on. I don't want these to display.

 

Win 10 Task Bar "File Explorer" Button Can't change order of items in stack

Regarding Windows 10 Task Bar "File Explorer" Button

Question: How do you re-arrange the order of items listed in the stack of the "File Explorer" Button in task bar.

Details:

Upgraded from Win 7 Pro 32 Bit.

I had an explorer button on task bar. Items were stacked. You could add any folder to stack by creating a shortcut on desk top, then dragging short cut to Explorer button.

In Win 7, at any time you could re-arrange order just by dragging them to desired spot (like to for recycle bin).

After upgrade to Win 10 Pro 32 Bit, the button is still there on task bar called "File Explorer", if you right click the button you can see the stack, but it will not let me re-arrange the order of the stack.

I'd like to set up a specific customized order (like you can in Win 7), not by date or alphabetical, et...

The instructions below do not appear to offer a way to do this.
