Add Recent Places to Favorites in Windows Explorer

If "Recent Places" is no longer listed in the Favorites in Windows Explorer, you can try this to get it back:

Go to Windows Explorer.


Right click on Favorites and click "Restore favorite links"


 For me, at least, the Recent Places menu returned when I did that.
