"Recent places" path is empty

Hello

One of my users has problems with his recent record place - it is always empty, regardless of how you place open. Does anyone know how to change it, because it becomes a disadvantage. It doesn't seem to be an answer anywhere on here? Is this a general problem of Microsoft that has not yet been solved?

They are related in that the options affect both.  If you don't store and display recent items in the to-do bar, the file loses its abilities as well.

    My recent locations folder is broken; It does not display anything.

  • Windows recent locations is always empty

    When I opened in recent places in windows Explorer, it is always empty. Can someone idea me why nothing is not displayed? It worked well in Vista ;)

    I solved this after 6 hours of experimentation. I had a file corrupted in my user profile. This replaces the offending jumplist and empty recent files of places with those of a profile.

    Use it at your own risk well and please do a backup first system...

    1. download http://www.homphysiology.org/misc/Recent.zip
    contains empty files to an empty profile, I created work
    Unzip it to a folder C:\TEMP\Recent

    2. right click on your "recent places" and select
    "Clear recent items list".

    3. type these commands in a command prompt.
    (you can change the temporary paths etc. If you want.)

    REM attend the incriminated in the user profile directory.
    REM for me, it's the title of 'Roaming '.
    %HomeDrive% CD
    CD "% HOMEDRIVE%\%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent".

    REM we may have to copy everything
    REM in this file for a backup.

  • Open recent in figures and empty Pages all of a sudden.

    Just today, when I opened the command of numbers and Pages open recent is empty. I've used both for several years and it started today.

    Hello junglejim,.

    Welcome to the communities of Apple Support!

    It seems that you are having problems to open recent documents in Pages and Numbers because the lists 'Open the recent item' are now empty. I know how it is to use the option "Open the recent item" for quick access to the documents you have worked on so I can understand why the suddenly empty menu would cause concern it.

    If you are unsure that you have accidentally selected the "Clear Menu" option at the bottom of the "Open recent item" list, there are a few other things we can explore to refine the why this happened. The first would be bound to an external hard drive. If you have a hard drive connected to your Mac where you saved your number and documents Pages and you disconnected the disk, it can cause the "Open recent item" list is more to show those who record the items.

    Another possible cause can be the settings of your Mac. Follow these steps:

    1. Open on your Mac System Preferences by clicking the  logo in the upper left corner of your screen.
    2. Select 'General '.
    3. Down, select the drop down beside where it says "recent items". If the "recent items" are defined as 'none' instead of the number, it can cause you to display more recent documents in number and Pages.

    Although your documents to appear in 'open the recent item"currently, you can still locate these documents if you have backed up on your Mac, an external hard drive or iCloud drive. If you do not save your documents as you work on it, I highly recommend that you start doing so to proceed in order to avoid data loss. In case you are not familiar with iCloud drive, here are some great resources for her:

    iCloud drive. Any type of file. On all your devices.

    iCloud Drive FAQ - Apple Support

    Once you have made sure that the "recent items" in the preferences system is not set to 'none', your next step would be to open or to create a few documents in number and in Pages, close and reopen the number and Pages, and check if these documents, you have just opened, created are showing in 'Open recent' to ensure it works as expected today.

  • Path Type returns 0, absolute path should return 2 < not a path > when the path is empty

    Path Type function should return 2 when the path is empty

    Now, it returns the absolute 0 path if the path is empty.

    I would use it to check if the user has entered a path or not.

    Of course, I could check to see if the control isn't a path or vacuum, but he would NCE to have a function to check.

    I understand what you're saying.  If you look in the OpenG code, there is a VI of valid path that does what you ask.

  • I want that my "recent places" icon/link back

    The icon/link "Recent Places" in the Windows Explorer Navigation pane has disappeared.

    I tried both 'back to the default' operations. Nothing.

    I found the actual file in C:\, removed half a dozen of the corrupted files (those more than 1 mg in size). Tried by dragging the icon of "Recent places" on the Nav Pane - nada. Nothing puts the icon/link back where it belongs, under libraries.

    How can I get that back?

    Right-click on the recent folder,

    Click send to and click Desktop create shortcut.

    The last time :)

    Click the Start button and click on your username at the top.

    Open the links folder,

    Drag the shortcut created in the folder links open.

    Once it is in the links folder,

    Right click and click Rename,

    Click inside the box to rename and save the list of shortcuts.

    If you want to drag the shortcut that is created inside the new library, you can try to.

  • "Recent places" seems to have disappeared from Windows 7 - help!

    Until very recently, when I opened Windows Explorer, there was a "Recent places" link under "Favorites."  If I clicked it, I got a long list of folders where I had recently opened items.  Suddenly, it disappeared.  I have been looking for help files and Google - find the \Recent Users\ [username] directory folder - but this isn't what I'm talking about.

    Is it possible to get this back?  Pretty please?  It has been EXTREMELY helpful to me!

    You're welcome, Martha.

  • Win7 Explorer "Recent places" folder: reduce the number of places/recent folders

    In the Favorites folder in Explorer which is at the top left of explore, there is a "Recent places" folder (I've renamed 'Recently used files'). (I speak not of anything in the start menu).

    This places recent record is very useful to get the last file I used. But I rarely use it for more than the record from two or three max 5. There are currently 30 files in this virtual folder and it takes me a while to look through them (especially maybe because I'm old, or there is a lot of files with similar names and Japanese).

    Does anyone know where the entrance of memory is so that I can reduce to 5 maximum?

    I looked at every instance of recent, the places and MRU

    Maybe I should go through the WHO registry looking for '30 '.

    I was just exploring what the other day (I also noticed that you can check the "recent files" separately from all the "recent items" which includes individual files, so I added a shortcut to each view to my favorites in Explorer, as shown below).  But the best I could find was to sort by "most recent" on the top, which I could see only the most recent.

    Actually even better than just sorting, you can group.  Then you can see ' this folder has I used yesterday? Pretty neat, but still not exactly what you are looking for:

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forums.

    I see you've found an error "file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action" when you click office and recent places.

    1. Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
    2. What is the full error message?

    I suggest you to report to us the screenshot of the Advanced window so that we can understand what exactly the situation.

    The average while you can try the following steps and check if the error reappears.

    Method 1:

    Step 1:

    Start the computer in safe mode and check the number.

    Some options, including the mode safe mode, start Windows in a limited State, where only the essential is started. If a problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic device drivers and services as a possible cause.

    Follow this link provided below to start your computer in safe mode.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

    Step 2:

    Put the computer to boot and check if the problem persists.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 3 of the KB article provided above.

    Method 2: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

    It will be useful.
