    Scroll bar keeps resetting in Windows File Explorer.

    For some reason, when I'm browsing a long list of files, if I stop moving my scroll wheel for a few seconds, the scroll bar in the file explorer jumps back up to the very top. Which is annoying when I'm browsing a folder that has hundreds of files in it.
    This only happens in the file explorer. Any suggestions?

    How do I expand the 'Recent' list in the File Explorer?

    You could consider managing recent lists a different way- using a 3rd party program such as Listary (free/commercial) or Actual Window Manager or 1 of its cheaper derivatives (not free).

    These offer a lot more flexibility and accessibility in many more situations (think - every open/save dialogue e.g.

    Actual Window Manager - title bar buttons. One is recent folders, another is favourites.
    There's Wordpad and file explorer.
    Clicking the button opens a list of recent folders.

    There's just one function of Listary - middle click button, file explorer. It does more.
