    Frequent USB folder/files don't show up in taskbar


    Hi,

    How do I make windows to recognize USB files in the taskbar shortcut. If I right click notepad for example, it will never show files recently opened from my usb key even if the key is always plug into my pc.

    Here is a screenshot: Screenshot - 35ca603c629e7838079a4d8a4f8e079d - Gyazo

    Can someone help me on this.

    thanks!

    Your screenshot shows Notepad as being open and a list of Recent files. This is mine with its list of Recent opened in Notepad:

    One nice thing about the Taskbar is when a program is open its icon shows and can be right-clicked and Pinned to Taskbar. When the program is closed the icon should remain.

    Another thing that can be done is to create additional Toolbars, the small double-arrows [on the right of Desktop] can be clicked and get a list of the items on the Desktop.
