Windows 8 and Windows 7 History in Recent Places
The Resent Places folder is quite useful in Windows 8 and Windows 7 because it maintains the lists of all folders that the user has visited in the past. Or in other words we can say it is similar to a Recent History that most third-party tools offer. That is why the Recent Places is a very simple way for displaying the last visited place very accurately.
To see the recently visited folder do the following steps.
Step 1
