Can Turn Off (Recent Files) In File Explorer?

Aug 13, 2015

Every time I open file explorer it displays my recent files. I would like to turn this feature off. If I can't find my own files without recent files, you can have my computer.

Why does Windows 10 want to hold our hand on everything?

You know those little kids in the Win 10 commercials? The ones that don't have to worry about security.

Well they will not have to worry about their EMAIL either. If email arrives Win 10 will never notify them, action center, sound and banner notifications never work.

Naturally the Mail App live tile only displays for 10 minutes if at all.

File Explorer And Recent Files

Aug 26, 2015

At work, I'll open files on a network path that is only accessible at work, e.g. mywork.orgsharesfile.xyz

These files will appear in my recent list when opening File Explorer (Win+E). The problem I have is at home where that network path is not accessible, and the File Explorer window will HANG for minutes trying to find the file. I can get around it by running CCleaner and cleaning recent files, but I was wondering if there was something else that could be done where I don't have to wipe out my recent list?

Where Are Favorites And Recent Places In File Explorer

Aug 6, 2015

Much as I like Windows 10 (despite an unnecessarily difficult installation), I'm horrified to find that they have apparently abandoned the 'Favorites' and 'Recent places' folders - which I used constantly and had grown to love.

Are they hiding them somewhere? Is there a way to restore/find them? Have I missed something obvious?

(I can't believe that they would be so stupid as to get rid of them: 'recent files' and 'Frequent folders' are good, but not quite as useful...).

File Explorer Not Finding Files?

Oct 10, 2015

File Explorer is not finding some files that are present on my PC with my current settings and I don't know what else to change so that files will be found. 
 
In Folder Options View Tab I have Show hidden files, folders, and drives enabled.  In Folder Options Search Tab I only have Include System directories checked.
 
In C:UsersUserNameAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsThemes I have many files whose name contains Arkham.

If I click on This PC in the Navigation Pane and then type Arkham in the search box, I get No items match your search.  What do I need to change so that the search will find these files.  Ultimately I would like search to find any file on This PC whether it be system, hidden, or read only.  I don't need for search to look in compressed archives (just the archive name).

File Explorer Crash When Selecting Files

Feb 10, 2016

I have encountered this problem (in thread line) for the past 3-5 days and I have come no closer to any solution during that period of time.Basically, as soon as I left click or right click on a file in Windows Explorer it will crash. My Windows icon in the bottom left has also stopped working and I cannot ask Cortana anything (not that I did anyway...).

None of the advanced boot options work either (system restore, clean install etc...).

File Explorer Files Cannot Be Deleted Says No Longer There

Feb 2, 2016

I am running File Explorer in Windows 10 and it displays some files and folders In a portable (F) that I cannot delete. When I try it says "This is no longer located in F:. I have hit F5 to refresh, rebooted and even ran defrag to eliminate this problem. It does show a file size for the files located in these folders. I have also installed LockHunter software to delete these folders and files; it didn't work. It says "no processes locking this file have been found", and "Cannot delete file..." I have another program called Directory Lister that also finds these files. I also have tried accessing them using C Prompt, which will display the folders and files but cannot be used to delete them.

File Explorer Slow With Loading Thumbnails And Files

Aug 3, 2015

I installed Windows 10 last week as an upgrade from Windows 7, and the internet part is working good. But something with the file explorer didn't work. The Document, Pictures, Music, and Video files are still there, but the thumbnails load slowly, or not at all. If it means anything, there's a green bar that slowly moves across the top of the screen.

File Explorer Not Refreshing After Deleting Files In Search

Aug 12, 2015

Using Windows 10 Home.

If I search within a folder for say *.* and then delete a file, the list of files does not refresh.

The file remains listed even though it's been deleted.

If I manually refresh then the file disappears from the list. Same thing happens if I undo the delete.

I need to hit F5 to make the file reappear in the search list.

Apps :: Recent Folders In Explorer Jump List Are Not Updating

Aug 9, 2015

I am using Win 10 x64 Pro, clean installation.

1. Recent folders in explorer jump list are not updating. They seem to be random folders from my second HDD and clicking on them says the folder has been moved (which is not true) and it offers to delete the shortcut. Deleting also does nothing, item still remains. Disabling recent folder in settings > personalization > start also has no effect

2. If I tick 'show recently used files in quick access' in folder options it also has no effect. When I open folder options after this it is unticked again.

3. I can't pin anything to quick access, I get 'parameter is incorrect' error.
