Get Rid Of Random Folders On The Quick Access

Oct 14, 2015

I can't seem to remove them. I have right clicked it but there is not delete option. My only option to get rid of them is to delete the folder which are originally in "documents" which I don't want to do. However, even when I delete the folders from documents, the folder on the sides will be replaced with another folder.

(The folder faces, graphics and tactics are for a game if you were wondering.)

Duplicated Quick Access Folders

Feb 23, 2016

This all started when something happened to my registry and I was unable to create new folders.

On my "Quick Access" tab in my File Explorer, it duplicated all the folders. At first I thought it would simply correct itself if I restarted my laptop, but it made it worse. Now the duplicated folders have no names and I can not delete them because an error pops up saying that the folder does not exist.

Quick Access Mixes Frequent Folders And Recent Files

Feb 23, 2016

I've learned to like the "Quick Access" feature of Win 10. Recently it has shown a strange trait. That is, instead of listing my "frequent folders" in a list in a pane at the top of the window and "recent files" in a pane at the bottom at the bottom of the window (in a separate pane), both "frequent folders" and "recent files" show up on the same detail list (in a single pane).

Likewise, the entries are all sorted by name instead of (recent) date, as I would like.

See image:

Here is a sample (imaged grabbed from Internet) of how it should look. ("Recent folders" in a separate pane at the top and "recent files" at the bottom. This is how I want my Quick Access window to look again.

How can I get Quick access to once again separate the "recent folders" from the "recent files"... and make them sort by "most recent date first"?

By the way, I tried "restore defaults" but that was to no avail.

File Explorer Quick Access Has Recent Folders Pinned But It Vanishes?

Aug 26, 2015

So File Explorer Quick Access shows Recent Folders, because I pinned it to be there:

But, when you go to "Save as" dialog box, Recent Folders inexplicably disappears from Quick Access:

Why is that? How can I fix it so that "Save as" and "Open" show Recent Folders in Quick Access in navigation pane?

How To Remove Quick Access

Jul 31, 2015

I'm not a fan of quick access/frequent folder/recent files. I liked the windows 8 system. Reason is because I don't want people who use my computer to have quick access to files that are personal or nsfw.

I don't to use a type of security system because I use my computer often at work and at home so it would waste time. I just want to avoid those moments when people borrow my computer spontaneously and Quick Access is the first thing in the files explorer. I just want to classic file explorer system.

Quick Access Pins Don't Work

Aug 13, 2015

While it shows recent files, somehow my pinned folders were removed.

This is after doing a clean installation of Windows 10 (via Reset my PC post-upgrade from 8.1 Pro).

Here's the dialogue box when I try to pin my user folder to Quick Access:

Here's what my Quick Access folder looks like:

As you can see, my recent files show up, but my pinned folders have disappeared and Windows does not allow me to pin any folders at all (via error above).

Quick Access Disappears On Startup

Feb 2, 2016

I upgraded to Windows 10 several months ago and the Quick Access menu was working normally. A few months back however, all of the pinned items disappeared and I cannot pin anything to the quick access menu either.

I can find and all I have been able to do is temporarily fix the problem by deleting the "5f7b5f1e01b83767.automaticDestinations-ms" file in the C:UsersRobAppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsRecentAutomaticDestinations folder.

Deleting this file does bring back the quick access folders that I had pinned before this problem started to happen, but every time I restart my computer, the quick access menu is again empty and nothing can be pinned to it.

Customization :: Removal Of Quick Access And DnD?

Jul 22, 2015

I'm not sure when it started, but all of a sudden I discovered that I did not have the ability to Drag and Drop a file from File Explorer's right pane to the left pane. I get the circle with line through it indicating that I can't do that. I can drag and drop a file within the right pane but not to the left pane. To move a file, I could only copy or cut and paste.

I wondered if some of the registry tweaks that I performed to clean up the Navigation Pane some days earlier might be causing the anomaly. I had followed Shawn's tutorials to remove Videos, Pictures and Music folders. I also removed HomeGroup and Quick Access. His instructions worked flawlessly.

To see if any of those tweaks was causing the DnD problem, I systematically reversed each one, one at a time. Here is my finding.

As soon as I restored Quick access my ability to Drag and Drop in File Explorer was restored! To verify my findings, I removed Quick access and lost my DnD again. Restored it a regained DnD again. I Hope this can be useful for those who are having the DnD problem.

Customization :: How To Remove Quick Access

Aug 18, 2015

How can I remove "quick access", or at least change the option to point to a file in the folder where I save it.

Only after saving several files that were directed to "My Documents" (not on C: drive) did I find that I couldn't locate them. I finally found them on "quick access".

How To Add Shortcut Link In Quick Access Through Registry

Dec 29, 2015

I want to add shortcut link of one of the folder location to "Quick Access" in Windows 10 x64.

In the case of Windows 10 x86 I used to put my shortcut link in the folder "C:Usersuser_nameLinks" & it showed me shortcut in favorites at left side. Also it works using this command :

Code:
mklink /D %USERPROFILE%LinksMyFolder C:MyFolder

I want to do same thing for Windows 10 x64. So I try to use that command on Windows 10 x64 also I have tried to directly copy shortcut & pasted into the location of Quick Access.

But, still it's not showing in left panel of Quick Access.

So, how to do that on Windows 10 x64 ? (or perhaps through Registry) ?.

Networking :: Quick Access For Network Drives

Aug 17, 2015

I am having problem adding folders from a network drive to the Quick Access.

Firstly I can only drag and drop into the QA in explorer, as right clicking option doesn't work and it only allows one folder at a time to be included. Local folders are not a problem and any number can be included in QA.

Also pinning files to taskbar apps has a similar problem if they are on the network drive.

OneDrive / Quick Access Bypass Not Working

Nov 1, 2015

I am getting a bit frustrated with Windows 10 Pro and not sure what to try. So I do not want to use OneDrive or Quick Access. One of the first things I did was go to folder options and changed "open file explorer to:" this PC instead of quick access. I then unchecked both quick access options under privacy. So now when I hit start and select downloads, pictures, or file explorer, it actually opens to this PC. Not documents though. It still opens to quick access every time. I tried a restart, still nothing.

Add Shortcuts To Quick Access In File Explorer?

Oct 12, 2015

When I try to drag shotcuts to it, it shows a no symbol (red circle with a dash through it) no matter which item I try to add to it. I had no problem adding anything in it every time I upgraded or reinstalled Windows 10 but after the last reinstall I'm having this problem. I suspect that this could get resolved by some registry hack.

Move Quick Navigation Folders On Left Explorer From SSD To D Drive

Aug 3, 2015

I recently got an SSD, with my old HDD set as a storage. I was trying to move the quick navigation folders on the left of Windows Explorer from the SSD to the D: drive (HDD).

However, with the 'My Music' shortcut, I accidently moved it to just the D: drive, rather than a folder within the D: Drive. This means the 'My Music' now directs me to straight to the D: drive, and when I try and move it, Windows says access is denied.
