Quick Access, Recent Files

[admin]

Okay, the next beta is on the way. Error #9 should be history then.

If your Recent folder is empty in XY, does this return anything useful?

Code: Select all

enumshellfolderitems 8;

It returned "No data" for me on Windows 11. (Latest update as of today, turned numlock off on bootup again even though it's on in the BIOS, dam Microsoft).

And you don't have Quick Access at the top of the tree as shown in this screenshot?: viewtopic.php?p=206268#p206268

I just discovered that my "Quick Access" was renamed "Home". I don't remember doing that, but I may have done it years ago using WinaeroTweaker. So yes, I have it, but it was renamed. https://winaero.com/how-to-rename-quick ... uickaccess

Does it have contents, and where is the real path?

[klownboy]

Home just seems to be a name used for Quick Access in the nav panel. based on the pic below. Going through the Explorer tree, I can't find anything labeled as Home or Quick Access. When I get a chance later, I may try to get the Quick Access name back.

Home is the name which is shown also in my system and I didn't rename anything.

Hi Horst, that's good to know. So maybe I hadn't renamed it. I noticed in WinAeroTweaker, it was called "Home" and it provides an option to rename it but renaming it doesn't work even after restarting Explorer and even after a cold bootup. I'm on the latest of Windows 11, but no longer on Insider updates.

So based on that, I'm not going to try some registry tweaks to rename it to Quick Links or whatever.

Win10 x64 and the current beta .0413:

Entering "%USER%\Recent" in the address bar works OK now. I no longer get Error 9. XY navigates to my "C:\Users\[Username]\Recent" folder. It displays this in the List with purple title bar "Virtual Folder: Recent".

That folder FYI contains only a file I accessed yesterday, so nothing very recent. But no anomalies at least.

Any news on weather Windows "Quick Access" functionality will be added to the XYPlorer Tree?
