    Windows 8.1 file explorer delete history/ frequent places list, will not function to delete.

    Every time I try to delete Windows file explorer's history & frequent places list, the list just "pops" right back up to stay cluttered.

    I have to use the (choose location) of move or copy files, when the list is full of prior places.

    Click on a Frequent places folder in File Explorer runs takeownership


    As title says instead of opening the folder a click on a Frequent places folder in File Explorer runs takeownership command.
    Weird. I have no clue on how to get it to default behavior ie opening the folder
    Thanks to the tuto I can clear and even prevent the Frequent places to fill in but I'd rather have it working properly.
    Begging for help. Thanks

    Edit
    Only when click done from File Explorer Frequent places in taskbar
    OK when done from File in File Explorer menu then folder opens
    In case it helps to point to the right registry key.

    Cheers

    Where are 'Favorites' and 'Recent places' in file explorer?


    It is not just a name change - there is "frequent folders" and "recent files" --- there is not "recent folders"

    There are only a few folders when you right click on the taskbar icon - previous Windows had a longer list under the "Recent Places" folder
