  2. Get Win10 File Explorer to open in last used folder


    How do I get File Explorer to open in the last used folder? NOT quick access, just in the normal list of directories. (file folders)
    I hate 'quick access', it slows everything down so much and makes all other folders invisible - I just want the normal file list visible and file explorer to open in the same folder as I was using before, in that list.

    Is this at all possible?

  3. Get Win10 File Explorer to open in last used folder


    All MS software is basic, just use 3rd party file explorer and customize it the way you want to.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
