    Increase number of recent folders in quick access


    This seems to have been done to death over the years but the interest in pressing MS for an update has waned by the looks of it. I would encourage all interested users to post more regularly about this becasue for those who are file and folder users, this is an important feature to us - and more to the point, without it we are MISSING an IMPORTANT feature.


    TO MICROSOFT: Please provide the following


    Control over the Recent and Frequent files and folders.


    And just to add another one which was equally glossed over by MS in one of my posts a couple of years ago:


    We need control over the default appearance of Win Explorer when it starts.


    I may fiddle with the settings during a session but that does not mean I want all subsequent instances of WinExp to start where the last one finished. I want total control.


    Just think how many megalomaniac Win10 users you will please ! Ha Ha, Ha Ha Ha, Ha Ha Ha Ha ... hmmmm.

    :)

    Increase number of recent folders in quick access

    Is there a way to increase number of recent folders in quick access?

    Currently I can see 30, but it would be extremely helpful to increase this number due to the number of folder I access daily.

    Thank you in advance for your response.

    Increase number of recent folders in quick access

    Just to be clear, there is not a way to increase number of recent folders in quick access?

    Is that correct?

    The problem is that the more folders you pin here the less recent history you see.

    Thank you for your help!

    Increase number of recent folders in quick access

    Unbelievable, going on two years and Microsoft still will not answer such a simple question, even though every few months someone else repeats the same question. How can Microsoft survive with such horrible support???

    I again will ask the same question - How does one increase the number of folders or files displayed in the "quick access" list? If increasing that is another simple task that Windows still has not provided, at least tell us that, Microsoft!!!
