Hi - I'm trying to set up a text expander for the following string which when typed in the Windows Explorer address bar brings up the recent folders dialog;

shell:::{22877a6d-37a1-461a-91b0-dbda5aaebc99}

Do I need to escape the ( char?
Thanks

Check the Preferences/Text Expander - if you have “Enable modifiers” option enabled then you need to escape the curly brackets like this
shell:::{{}22877a6d-37a1-461a-91b0-dbda5aaebc99{}}

See special characters section:
