Re: Outlook 2019 how to get number of messages
I’m not sure about this. I’m also using Outlook 2019 and I think something must have recently changed as a result of an update. I have changed none of my Outlook or Fusion settings and I can see the unread messages displayed on the status bar and whereas Insert + PageDown read me the status bar items yesterday, it is no longer reading it today. I’ll keep playing with different shortcut key combinations to get Fusion to again read the status bar items and will post back if I’m successful or anything changes.

Re: How to locate a missing file

Mike and others,
The Recent folder has been around since at least
Windows 98, and the contents are only shortcuts to the files, folders, and urls
that you have accessed.
You can choose not to use the recent folder if you
wish, and if there are no items being displayed in this folder,
it is not
necessarily a fault of the operating system, but a
settings change by the user.
The easiest way to get to the folder, is to type
the following in the run dialogue:
recent
and press enter.
Once in the folder select one of the entries, and
then open the properties of that entry, and you will see that it is a
shortcut
and that at least in Windows 10 the only tab in
this dialogue is the shortcut tab.
Below is an url that has information about the
Recent folder.
HTH,
Rick

Hi Brian,
To add to what you've said and please tell me
if this is correct or not, I need to have Quick Access enabled / employed for
the, " symbolic links", to be stored in the Recent Files folder along with being
told how many in Word. I've never used Quick Access so I believe this is
why I don't have anything stored there. Thanks much.

The recent files list is a Windows feature and Recent Files gets populated based on exactly which files you've been working with most recently. As Sharon's message indicates, there can be quite a few because you can set the length of the "recent files list" available in programs such as MS-Word, etc. But you don't directly manage Recent Files, Windows does, and I'll bet my bottom dollar that no actual file ever gets stored there, just symbolic links to files. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build

Re: How to locate a missing file
Mike,
I can't answer that, at least not precisely, as I do not know of any way to disable Quick Access other than to toggle the display of same on or off. If you don't have a recent files list showing up in things like Word, Excel, Paint, etc., I can't explain that. If I even so much as bring up the context menu for any start menu item, I get a recents list associated with it. But I have never disabled the display of Quick Access, either. But the recents lists predate Quick Access by quite a long time. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 It is the function of creative men to perceive the relations between thoughts, or things, or forms of expression that may seem utterly different, and to be able to combine them into some new forms--the power to connect the seemingly unconnected. ~ William Plomer

One question though. Am I able to delete files out of this folder without effecting the original file? I ask because I have 149 items in that folder.- If memory serves, what is in the Recent Files folder is not the actual file itself (as that is resident in whatever folder you happened to create it in) but a collection of symbolic links, which are entries that "point to" the file itself to put it most simply. It's easy to test out whether this is the case, and whether deleting the symbolic link has any effect whatsoever on the actual file itself. Create a new file using Notepad, or the program of your choice, that just contains a couple of bits of junk, like abc. Save it to any location of your choosing. Immediately afterward, open the Recent Files folder and an entry for that file should be present there; delete it. Navigate back to where you saved the actual file and see if it's still present (and I believe it will be). If it is, then you can safely delete whatever entries you wish from the Recent Files folder. Since many cleanup utilities nuke Recent Files I have to presume you will be able to do so yourself should you so choose.

Many ways to skin a cat. One of the immediate customisations I make to any Windows machine I install is to put a shortcut to the Recent folder on my Desktop. The folder path for the Recent Folder on Windows 10 is. C:\Users/your user name \Recent You need to look for your own user name in the Users directory. Bring up the context menu on the recent folder and press n for send to and finally from the send to sub menu select Desktop create shortcut. The Recent folder shortcut will open a folder containing shortcuts to all the documents you have opened/saved so makes finding lost documents easy. The other thing I do is sort this by date modified so that the most recent documents are at the top of the list which makes finding them easy as well. To do this open the Recent folder.

In addition, Making the change in the Default

Hi, Joe. Something you may or may not know: Turning off Smart Navigation in the Setup Wizard, or even in JAWS Settings may not turn off Smart Navigation in the particular browser you are using. For best results, Open the browser, then go to Settings Center in JAWS, and check that Smart Navigation is actually turned off in the configuration file for the browser you are using. Then Close JAWS Settings Center, and save the configuration file for your browser.
