Customise Windows 8's Copy to/Move to ribbon bar folder lists

On my previous Windows 8 install I regularly used File Explorer's Copy to and Move to ribbon bar options to copy/move files from my Download folder to other locations. This folder used to show around 10 regularly accessed folders, including Music, Pictures, Videos, etc., and so it made it very easy to quickly manage my downloads. My Backup and Album Art folders were there for example.

However, on my new Windows 8 install I've noticed that the folder list now no longer shows the folder I've been copying/moving files to be ANY and ALL folders that I've accessed, including just navigating to them and opening them. This means that the regularly used locations. such as my Album Art folder, are not being stored for long as I only have to open a folder and it will added there replacing the oldest one, even if I didn't actually copy or move anything there from the ribbon bar. Music, Pictures, Desktop, Documents and Videos are the only ones that stay fixed. I've tried to find out how to do edit or change this to how it was before but I've had no luck. It is obviously possible because that is how I had it setup before, though I don't remember doing any tweaks or anything like that to enable it.

Does anyone know how to change the behaviour of Copy to and Move to so they ONLY include locations you have actually copied or moved files to please not every folder I've merely opened?
