- For all practical intents and purposes, yes. The contents of Recent Files changes constantly as various files are accessed and older entries do get "pushed out." But the aging off algorithm is not s

- We were typing at the same time, and I have to say I think you've nailed it here. The setting isn't in File Explorer options, but that doesn't matter. I know that "Show recently opened items . . ."

- Mike B, I assumed you had. My question was posed to Mike M, but I was unclear about that, and for that I apologize. But I have never seen a link between whether anything was displayed in Quick Acces

Mike, Have you tried the instructions given by Mike B in this message: https://jfw.groups.io/g/main/message/91029? If you have nothing in the Recent Items folder I would almost have to say something i

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

- Mike, That's because you don't. 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 in

- 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

Russell, You're quite welcome. I'm the odd sighted person who haunts a number of blind technology groups due to the fact that one of the things I've been doing for years is private tutoring of those n

This was a very recent topic of conversation on the Microsoft Office Accessibility Discussion Group. It got split into multiple topics: Email Count [External] : Re: [office-accessibility] Email Count

Since this group is not strict about focus on JAWS, and since there has been some trend toward the use of Libre Office by those who do not wish to purchase MS-Office, I'm offering the following as a p

- While files absolutely can and do get sent to OneDrive by default after one of the feature updates, and this can be turned off (I keep OneDrive completely shut down, so it can't happen anyway), I do

By the way, and because the need to check this information does come up, if you want to get a quick snapshot of your system specs, including the bit depth of your computer's CPU: Open Settings, System

Shirley, There is still a lot of software written during the 32-bit era that remains that way but works perfectly fine under 64-bit hardware. My Office 2016 is the 32-bit version, for instance. Most v

- I cannot possibly second this recommendation more strongly, particularly if you're someone "old school" such as myself who virtually always searches for something based on its file name, or part of

Takis, Everything you describe has Windows Corruption or potential infection written all over it. There is no way that programs "just randomly close" under normal circumstances. First, try Using SFC (

You know, it's just plain foolish to call a new feature, and its default setting, however annoying that might be (and, believe me, it's happened to all of us) a problem. The ALT + TAB behavior was cha
