    How to return to location where you opened a file


    When closing a file that I opened in a directory, I want to Return to that same location where I opened a file when I decide to close the file. Microsoft used to do this by default and now I can not keep track of what I am trying to accomplish if I am constantly dumped to another program running on my computer. I need to view 10 files in a directory, so I open the first one. I was going to place an image here but it does not recognize a snip it. or screenshots.The image is of a directory tree and I am in a subdirectory full of pdf files. It can be any type of files, word, excel it does not mat

    Simply, HOW? I got the DDS plugin but the POS wont open DDS files still. Can someone give me a step-by-step rundown of how to install the DDS plugin for gimp so I know if I'm missing something?

    Open file location is missing in pinned apps

    ,
    No, that's not the sort of 'file location' the OP is referring to. Your 'file location' opens File Explorer at the location of the shortcut for that app in the Start Menu's Programs folder. The OP wants the list of recently opened files, or the Jump List as it is known (hover over each one and it shows its file location). Theirs is turned off (and yours by the looks of it).

    Open file location is missing in pinned apps

    Yes. This is the one. Weirdly it now shows all the recent files after update. Maybe that has something to do with it. I did not do anything at all.

    Thank you again. I guess the problem is solved.
