In Linux the option is clearly visible.
Do you have the latest version of VLC?
On a Linux system, there is a file $HOME/.config/vlc/vlc-qt-interface.conf which contains the entry named [RecentsMRL], which contains the recent history.
Best Answer
There is a way to change what is displayed in the Filename section but other than that, that is controlled by Windows File Dialog, not really by VLC.
Though after some checking, VLC does seem to write a string named lastVisited inside Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\QtProject\OrganizationDefaults\FileDialog with last opened file and nothing else from there.
Modifying it defaults it to file:///C:/Program Files/VideoLAN/VLC after VLC Media Player re-launch, I guess you'll have to leave this one alone for now.
