Description

This extension opens when Visual Studio Code is started, displaying a list of recent projects.

The list is generated from a JSON file named recentFolders.json located in the user data dir directory.

If Visual Studio Code is started on a folder, this is added to the list of recent projects and the welcome tab is not shown.
