    Turn On or Off Recent Items and Frequent Places in Windows 10


    Hello onlygreen, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

    That's correct. You will not be able to use any of the Personalization settings while Windows is not activated.

    You should still be able to use OPTION TWO with the .reg files to set it.

    Hello Hamid, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

    It should show them under "Recent" or "Frequent" in jump lists.

    I'm not aware of a way to change how many items display in jump lists in Windows 10 yet.

    Turn On or Off Recent Items and Frequent Places in Windows 10

    Brink, your forum has emerged as one of the best for Windows on the internet.

    Can you get Windows 10 to display a list of recently opened *files* but not a list of recently opened web pages...
    Can they be separated and one turned on but not the other?

    I use Classic Shell on Windows 10 so that I can have Recent Items displayed in a drop down list, and would like to keep that ON but turn OFF the display of every web page I visit when I right click on the browser i the task Bar of Windows 10.

    Is there a way to have %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent Items link be a drop down link in the start menu?

  12. I've been looking for the same, but have not found anything. I miss the 'recent items' list from W7, as opposed to the folder that opens with recent items option in W10 - which means you then have to then close that folder.
    I like the 'recent list' because its a reminder of things you have worked on recently, and it does not open a folder to get to the item - its less clicks.
    So - I opted for Classic shell - which brings back a recent items 'list' from the start menu, and some other pretty good customization options.
    I don't particularly like adding 'add-ons' for workarounds, but this seems to be the only way until 'when and if' MS brings back a true recent list.

    Thank you, I will look through each option, I just wanted to ask if they offer a drop down menu option that opens up the Recent Items list right there in the Start menu instead of launching a separate folder to be opened?

  14. Oh, I see.. yes - indeed it does. Just like W7

    Sorry, but not in Start.

    You could add the Recent Items folder as a toolbar on your taskbar to have a menu though.
