Recently Accessed Folder

I know I ask a lot of questions here, so bear with me...I try to make them simple.

Recently I've been wanting to figure out how to know what I've recently renamed, or moved to another location, since the right click in any windows folder has in it "undo" however it is of course stupid that it doesn't say what you will be undoing... the most it will say is "undo move" or "undo rename", however since this is not referring to a specific file or even file destination you will never know what you will be undoing unless somehow you have it memorized, so saw a folder today called Users/MYNAME/Appdata/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Recent and this shows what I've accessed most recently, however I don't know why I thought renaming or moving something means you accessed it. Guess this doesn't help at all in determining what you would, be undoing if you were to select "undo rename/move/copy/paste" in Windows Explorer (which is any window containing files on your computer).

So if possible can someone tell me how to determine what Windows will be undoing, if I was to select this option? It's been a pain till this day.

um, undo=will revert your most recent change to whatever has been changed to it's original state before you changed it ;)

I know what it is...you know what, never mind. I pretty much know - it WON'T tell you what you are undoing no matter what.

I think, unfortunately, you may be right. I've tried too, to figure out how to tell what action is going to be undone or redone, especially if any length of time has gone by since the last change to a file or app. For me, I've learned (the hard way) to ONLY try to use Undo or Redo when I have just moved/renamed/deleted or whatever, a file and want to undo the change. Otherwise, the only thing to do is to go to the list of files/apps at Users/MYNAME/Appdata/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Recent and to check the Date Modified list to see which files were most recently accessed. Doesn't help you undo or redo your changes, but at least you can find your most recently accessed files or apps.

Brink, are you around? Can you lend any insight to this question?
