Direct Folders very slow to open when network paths in "recent" not available

Sometimes Direct Folders takes up to 10 seconds to open. Once opened, the next open will be instant.

If I clear out all the “recent” history entries and turn off recent tracking for all applications, the problem goes away.

This might also happen when paths in the main DF menu are not available; haven’t tested.

Responsiveness is a very important reason to use this app. If I have to wait 10 seconds, it’s faster to just navigate manually in Windows Explorer.

Please make it so DF opens immediately, even if network paths are not available.

Thanks.
