History of opened folders in File Explorer
There is a built-in capability within Windows 10 that can help you in this area. You can create a shortcut to your Recent Items that will show you the files and folders you have recently accessed:
- Create a desktop shortcut to
%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\
and name itRecent Items
- Copy that shortcut to
%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
- Right-click the shortcut on the
All Apps
list and selectPin to start
When you utilize that shortcut to open your Recent Items window, you can sort it by the Date Modified
column or you can even right-click the top row and add the Date Accessed
column. This should give you something rather close to what you want to see.
You can display the recent files/folders very easily without creating a shortcut, just invoke the command shell:recent in run box Win+R shell:recent
