Reopen recently closed File Explorer window in Windows 10

How can I reopen a recently closed File Explorer window in Windows 10? I sometimes close a File Explorer window by mistake and I want to reopen it, but it is deeply buried in list of folders. It is a pain to reopen it.

I took a look at Windows 10 Quick Access. It has frequent folders and recent files, but no recent folders.

Is there a way to reopen accidentally closed windows explorer? (All internet browsers allow this, so why can't Windows allow this?)

Note: I am not asking to reopen Internet Browser tab.

There are all sorts of recent items in Explorer.

Recent folders 1

Previously opened folders in Windows Explorer are available via the little down arrow to the right of the path information field.

Recent folders 2

A. Make a shortcut

To make a shortcut to it, right-click on the Desktop, select New > Shortcut, then enter as location the following string

%windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{22877a6d-37a1-461a-91b0-dbda5aaebc99}

Give it a meaningful name.

B. Add to Quick access

Go to one folder short of it in File explorer, so that's %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows, right-click on Recent items and select Pin to Quick access.

Recent items

This is found in %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent and you may use it in one of the above methods.

Third-party add-ons to Explorer

If the above methods are not enough, you need an add-on that might do better than Microsoft in displaying recent folders.

Here are a couple of such add-ons. I never used any of them and so cannot recommend one.

• Chameleon Folder with review
• Folder Menu
