\nHow to See All the Files and Folders You’ve Recently Accessed <\/strong><\/span>
\n
\nThis tip is for Windows 7, Windows 8x and Windows 10<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Every time you access a file or folder in Windows, it’s tracked and added to a list. If you don’t already know, we’ll show you how you can access this list and see what’s on it. And it is easy to do. Very easy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Open a Run dialog by holding down the Windows Key and tapping the “R” key. Type RECENT in the Run box and press Enter or click “OK”.<\/span><\/p>\n

You’ll see a long list of files you’ve accessed recently. My list goes all the way back to 3 weeks ago, which was the time I cleaned my computer using the CLEANMGR command which you can also run from a Run dialog. Note:<\/strong> If you run Windows Disk Cleanup or another cleanup program regularly you won’t have much or anything on this list.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Windows 10 users will notice also that a list of recently accessed files and folders appears in File Explorer “Quick Access”.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to clear this list of recently access files and folders, do this:<\/span><\/p>\n

Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog.<\/span><\/p>\n

Type Control Folders in the run box to open Folder Options and click OK or press Enter. (Note: You can also use Control Panel \/ Folder Options or File Explorer \/ Options.) Under the General tab, under “Privacy”, next to “Clear File Explorer history” click “Clear”.<\/span><\/p>\n

OK! Now you know how to see what files and folders you have recently accessed on your computer… and how to clear the list. I always love to do this with EB’s computer. I bet if I saw the things she looks at I’d be embarrassed and appalled!<\/span><\/p>\n

Windows 7 users, please note:<\/strong>\u00a0 You will see slightly different dialogs, but the functionality is essentially the same.<\/span><\/p>\n
