Windows 10: History of last opened folders

I've been using AnVir Task Manager for about 10 years now. It has a very convenient feature that adds a button with a list of the last opened folders, no matter what program calls the file open, folder open or file save dialog. The last 10-15 opened folders are always displayed there (in the form of a button with a drop-down list). This is very convenient, especially in the stupid folder open dialog.

Time does not stand still, but the program seems to be no longer being developed. I would like to find similar functionality somewhere so that the program continues to work correctly on Windows 10 and 11.

I'm talking specifically about the history of the last opened folders, not files or pinned folders in favorites, especially since they are not available in the open folder dialog.

File history on USB security user access

Hi,

To isolate this concern, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

• Open File History folder.
• Select all the files that you don't want to be accessed.
• Right-click on the highlighted files and choose Properties.
  
• Go to Security tab.
• Click on Advanced.
• Select all the user account that you don't want to have access on your File History folder.
• Click on Disable inheritance.
• Lastly, click on OK.

Let us know how it goes.

 

File History never copies anything

Hi,

Temporary system failure is one of the possible reasons why this issue is happening. To help resolve the issue, we suggest deleting the files in the USB drive. Follow the steps below:

• Open Settings > Update & Security > Backup > More Options.
  
• Click Stop using this drive.
  
• Delete the File History folder on your external drive.
  
• Try again to add the USB drive to backup File History.
  

Keep us in the loop with the result.

 

How to remove folders from File History

• I had the same problem, and I solved in this way:
  Control Panel -> System and Security-> File History -> Turn off
  Settings -> Update & Security -> Backup -> More options -> Stop using this drive
  Delete the File History folder in your external drive.
  Start using File History again.
  After performing these steps, I can easily add folders to "Excluded Folders" and they remain excluded. I checked in the actual files and folders saved on the external disk, and it works.
  I did not modify the default settings about how often and how long backup is saved, File History is working ok now. So I guess it is important to click "Stop using this drive" in order to reset File History.
  Hope this will be helpful
