    File Explorer Quick Access has Recent Folders pinned but it vanishes..


    To fix "Recent Folders" showing on left File Explorer tree:

    File Explorer, View, top left button Navigation Pane (drop down), ensure "All Folders" selected
    Now the instructions should work

    OR

    Run
    shell:::{22877a6d-37a1-461a-91b0-dbda5aaebc99}

    There is "button" top left to PIN to Quick Access

    After I finish Step 3,3) Copy and paste the entire following line into the Command Prompt, and then press Enter:
    mklink /j "%USERPROFILE%\Recent Items" %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent

    the command prompt box sends a reply that states:
    ​"The syntax of the command is incorrect."So I cannot proceed further.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!
