Visual Studio recent file path

We use Visual Studio for coding across multiple solutions and workspaces. One way that I was easily able to reopen a solution in a different workspace than one I have open was to right click the Visual Studio icon and there would be a list of the recently opened solutions. This worked great!

The issue is that all of the workspaces have solutions of identical names. So if I have Workspace1/Test.sln and Workspace2/Test.sln then they both show up as Test.sln. In Windows 7, this was fine because I could mouse over the solution name and it would tell me its path, C:/Workspace2/Test.sln.

In Windows 10, this is no longer the case. I can still mouse over and see the recent solutions, but I can't see what their paths are, so it's just a field of One.sln, One.sln, Two.sln, One.sln with no way to tell them apart.

Is there any way to get it to show the full paths, at least on mouse over?

I know one solution to get around the problem is to make a path tree for the workspaces and rely on that, but it's nice to not have to remember which workspaces I had been using recently and just go look at the recent history, so this is preferable.
