    How can I increase the number of dynamic frequent folders shown in the quick access pane in windows 10?

    It does not work for the recent folders shown by right-click on File Explorer on taskbar.

    They are always the last four most recent folders shown only, under the section of the pinned Folders.

    Right-click the C: drive icon and choose Properties. You won't see all of the files as Windows hides/protects the Operating System files unless in File Explorer you click, on the menu tab, View, Options, View tab and uncheck, or check, some things to make more files visible. When done be sure to go back and reset what you did.

    As I said, in File Explorer [or the older Windows Explorer] go to the Menu bar, click View, at the right end click Options then click the middle or View tab. Oops, I originally said menu tab, meant Menu bar.

    When I click "Options" the only things in the drop-down are "Change folder and search options" and "LastPass Toolbar"

    and choosing "Change folder and search options" > View brings up

    but I don't see anything about the number of files.

    Thanks for looking into this, Berton, sorry if I'm a bit dense about it *cry

    For a quick down and dirty, at admin command prompt, type chkdsk C:
    You'll get this which includes number of files. There are 3rd party tools also, like Windirstat.
