    How do I get "recent folders" to appear in "save as" options?


    Hi. Whenever I save as documents, files, or anything, here's the prompt that appearsWell, I do often need to save multiple documents in the same place. So, it's really annoying that I have to manually browse the same folder over and over.While there's a "quick access" feature, this did not solve my problem, because1. It needs me to scroll every time I want it.2. even when I scroll for it, there is "frequent folders" rather than "recent folders"Imagine, I'm saving3 installation files for pc maintenance, so I save the installation files do D/Applications/Pc maintenance I do this 3 timesnext time

    :)

    Windows 10 replaced Recent Folders with Quick Access. how to change 10 to 20?

    For anyone still struggling with this, here is a step by step guide to

    • Adding Recent Folders back to Quick Access (easy)
    • Getting Recent Folders to appear in Save As dialogs (tricky, needs registry modifactions, not to attempted unless you are comfortable modifying the Registry)

    How do I get "recent folders" to appear in "save as" options?

    Recent (Save Files) - Change Default Settings to OneDrive

    Hello -
    Thanks for the return. Before I undertake changing the Registry, I have a question.
    The steps in my Registry, for my version of Windows 10, were a bit different, but I think I eventually got to the right spot.
    The last step is to change the number of places you want to list in Recent Places. In my case, the default Max Display listed 50 as the number. So, if I were to change that number, how do I know the Save As page will be one of those places? Or, a similar question, will this registry change delete the tab Recent from my Save As page? This is what I would like to happen.
    When I received my computer in Nov. 2016, the Recent tab was not listed in the Save As page. Something caused it to be added over time. Which brings me to this second question. Would there be any benefit in deleting the changed registry listing and reverting back to the default listing? See attachment.
