XYplorer Beta Club

Hello,

i did search around this forum to find some solution, but not sure if there´s any. It´s what basically prevents me from switching to this otherwise wonderful file manager.
So here´s the problem:
I´m very used and comfortable with the Windows 11 Quick access -> Recent files view.
From what i´ve read so far, this is supposed to be under "links" in xyplorer. Well, at least not for me. There´s only a desktop.lnk and a download.lnk sitting there.
So i start to wonder if that´s possible at all?
Thanks for any helping hand.

Nagra, I don't know about the Recent files, but I do know that XYplorer lets you insert folders into that Links directory you mentioned. See my screenshot. I just drag and drop the folders in the tree on the left side, onto the Links word itself, to insert a new folder there. I put a red circle where the Links directory is.

Thanks for your answer.
But unfortunately that´s not what i´m looking for (unless there is - and someone can tell me the path to "start"). i think it´s just a handler in the registry?

Sorry, I should have read your OP better. You aren't interested in the Links folder, just the Recent Files. I thought it was both. OK well that's what I get for skimming. Hopefully someone else will chip in, I'm a newbie here and I don't know how to get what you want.

I'll see if I can add "Recent folders" and "Recent files" in a way similar to File Explorer.

Thank you very much!

It seems to be possible for "third party explorer replacements" - i´ve seen it with at least one of your competitors.
Crossing fringers that you´ll find a way as well

In Win 10 File Explorer seems to lists *frequently* used folders and *recently* used files. I have no idea where those frequency data come from.

What are you after? Recent folders and files?

BTW, for the "Recent" item to appear under Links it may be necessary to create a shortcut to "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent" in the Links folder (%USER%\Links\).

Today's beta should handle the Recent folder much better:

hi! trying out the new beta and i receive this message when pasting in %USER%\Recent to the address bar. after the error message, the tree will update and go to the actual location; however, clicking on the Recent folder name in the tree also causes the message below.

With this .0411 beta I get the same "Subscript out of range" error when I enter "%USER%\Recent" in the address bar.

I assume the path "%user%\Recent" is empty on your system. Error message should be gone in next beta. You have to find out yourself where that path is located.

In my case (in case it helps) with Windows 11 (latest), when using %user%\Recent in address bar I get: My folder: C:\Users\ken\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent Items contains:

Here running the latest production version of Windows11 %user%\Recent runs fine.

@klownboy: Life is full of surprises. When you open "Quick Access" in File Explorer, can you somehow find out which path it is actually showing? Where the contents come from?

I've checked to see recent files and folders in File Explorer properties, I hadn't previously. I do not see Quick Access anywhere. I see "Recent" under my name in the Nav Panel. Clicking on it, it sends me to "my name > Recent". Obviously, that's a link. Properties does not show a target for I assume it must be to: C:\Users\ken\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent Items When I go there, it says I have no recent items.

Edit: I added "Show User folder" to XYplorer in Configuration and I see my first name and under it is "Recent". When I click on it like others, I get and Error 9.
