Kuinka saat viimeisimmistä tiedostoista takaisin Windows 10: ssä?

I can find the listings for recent items, but these only seem to let me see recent items opened by a particular app. For example, I can look at Microsoft Word’s icon and see the documents recently opened in it.

I am unable to find a simple “these are the last ten documents/files opened with any application”, which is very useful if I have not pinned the apps in question to my taskbar. This feature used to exist in Windows XP as “My Recent Documents”:

I believe that the new way of thinking at Microsoft during the Start Menu’s redesign process was that if you want to access “files”, then you should open the File Explorer to access them instead of the Start Menu.

To that end, when you open the File Explorer, it will default to Quick Access, which includes a list of Recent Files like the example shown here:

Method 1: Use the Run Dialog Box

• Open the Run Dialog Box with the keyboard shortcut Windows Key+R
• Enter shell:recent

This will open the folder listing all of your recent items. The list can be quite long and may contain items that are not as recent, and you may even want to delete some of them.

Note: The contents of the Recent Items folder is different from the contents of the File Explorer entry Recent Places, which contains folders that have been recently visited rather than files. They often have quite different contents.

Method 2: Make a Desktop Shortcut to the Recent Items Folder

If you like (or need) to look at the contents of the Recent Items folder on a frequent basis, you may want to create a shortcut on your desktop:

• Right-click on the desktop
• In the Context Menu, choose New
• Select Shortcut
• In the box, “type the location of the item”, enter %AppData%MicrosoftWindowsRecent
• Click Next
• Name the shortcut Recent Items or a different name if desired
• Click Finish

You can also pin this shortcut to the taskbar or place it in another convenient location.

Method 3: Add Recent Items to the Quick Access Menu

The Quick Access Menu (also called the Power User’s Menu) is another possible place to add an entry for Recent Items. This is the menu opened by the keyboard shortcut Windows Key+X. Use the path:

%AppData%MicrosoftWindowsRecent

Contrary to what some articles on the Internet say, you cannot simply add shortcuts to the folder that is used by the Quick Access Menu. For security reasons, Windows will not allow additions unless the shortcuts contain certain code. The utility Windows Key+X menu editor takes care of that problem.
