    I don't know what happened... but the list got longer for some reason. I didn't do anything special... but it just got longer

    How do I expand the 'Recent' list in the File Explorer?

    You could consider managing recent lists a different way- using a 3rd party program such as Listary (free/commercial) or Actual Window Manager or 1 of its cheaper derivatives (not free).

    These offer a lot more flexibility and accessibility in many more situations (think - every open/save dialogue e.g.

    Actual Window Manager - title bar buttons. One is recent folders, another is favourites.

    There's just one function of Listary - middle click button, file explorer. It does more.

    I'm not computer savvy and I'm trying to download a mod for Sims 3. I finally extracted the zipped file and what appears next to it is an internet explorer icon. I double clicked on it and it opened up my download manager window like in the picture. Except when I click open it doesn't do anything. I was trying all yesterday to figure this out and it just doesn't open! Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
