    Frequent folders & recent files


    Is it possible to prevent Windows Explorer from showing data from an external hard drive in these places? Alternatively, can these items be hidden or deleted?

    :)

    Recent File List

    that's all off already dude lol, I'm really surprised there is no fix for the recent files list/MRU in the file menu of programs haha

    I appreciate the help, MS really needs to implement a Group Policy or a string that can do that for all programs installed

    Win 10 Quick Access mixes frequent folders and recent files


    Hello,

    I've learned to like the "Quick Access" feature of Win 10. Recently it has shown a strange trait. That is, instead of listing my "frequent folders" in a list in a pane at the top of the window and "recent files" in a pane at the bottom at the bottom of the window (in a separate pane), both "frequent folders" and "recent files" show up on the same detail list (in a single pane).

    Likewise, the entries are all sorted by name instead of (recent) date, as I would like.

    See image:

    Here is a sample (imaged grabbed from Internet) of how it should look. ("Recent folders" in a separate pane at the top and "recent files" at the bottom. This is how I want my Quick Access window to look again.

    How can I get Quick access to once again separate the "recent folders" from the "recent files"... and make them sort by "most recent date first"?

    By the way, I tried "restore defaults" but that was to no avail.

    Thanks!
