    Windows 11 Remove File Explorer's path history?

    I think it may have been called WordWheelQuery in Windows 7. I skipped 8 and 10 so I don't know if it changed. I've managed to disable search history in WIndows 11. But I'd like to also disable the folder path history as well. Is there a way? Anyone know the regedit entries I need to edit?
