    Showing Incorrect Recent Files

    Greetings, can anyone tell me how to change the "Recent Files" that appear when opening Excel? I use one particular file over and over, it's saved to my desktop on my computer, but whenever I open Excel the "Recent Files" list only has options for files that are on OneDrive, not the recent one I just used from my desktop.

    It's frustrating because to get to the file I use everyday I have to click on "Computer" then "Desktop" then the subfolder on the desktop that contains the file, then the double click on the file itself. I want this file to appear in the "Recent" files so that I can just click it instead.

    Does anybody know how to fix this?

    Thank you in advance.

    I've noticed this has been viewed 65 times but no suggestions. Does this mean everyone has this problem and doesn't know a way to fix it either? Or should I go to Microsoft and ask this question?

    That's exactly what I needed, don't know why I haven't seen that before, but that did it. Thank you.
