Great! Alas it didn't fix my quick access recent file links having no icons... just blank. Don't know when that started and can't find anything on it. Minor problem.

Recent Files for Programs in Start Menu
I want to share this with you incase there were others finding a similar issue.
I was struggling for ages with this and followed steps here.
Then I just "right clicked" on the program in the "Most Used" at the top of "Start", and there they are, the "Recent" files appear.
Obviously this works for all programs in the start menu.
Right click the icon for the program and the recent files should appear.

Recent items folder properties shows 193 files and 10 folders, but the folders are not visible and they are not hidden, how do I access them?

They're hidden by a custom view imposed by a desktop.ini file.
You can get to the sub-folders by specifying the path in the Explorer Address bar:shell:AppData\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations
You can "turn off" the custom view with this PowerShell:
And turn it back on with this:Code:(gi $env:AppData\Microsoft\Windows\Recent).Attributes -= 'ReadOnly'
Explorer with custom view turned off:Code:(gi $env:AppData\Microsoft\Windows\Recent).Attributes += 'ReadOnly'

Does Classic Start Menu populate the program-speicfic jumplists as well?
If you delete every file you don't recognize on a WIndows 10 system, you will soon run inot trouble.
What is your reason for necro-ing this old thread?

Notice "Programs" and "Apps" at the bottom above the "Search" box which lists all the installed programs and apps.
It pretty much covers anything that I can possibly. The list at the top left is shortcuts that a manually added. The list at the bottom list changes based on the last programs ran which is controlled by the number of items you set. Take a look: Classic Shell.

I don't care to. I'm content with the Explorer shell and have taken the time to understand it.
What interaction does Classic Shell have with the sub-folders of Recent Items that prompted your question?
