    Information Windows 10 replaced Favorites from previous Windows with Quick access. The Quick access page is the shortest route to files you've been working on and folders you often use.

    Windows 10 allows you to be able to Pin to Quick access and Unpin from Quick access locations now. These locations include local and network folders, drives, libraries, OneDrive, This PC, Recycle Bin, etc..., but files and apps cannot be pinned to Quick access.

    This tutorial will show you how to add or remove 'Pin to Quick access' from the context menu of all users in Windows 10.

    You must be signed in as an administrator to be able to do the steps in this tutorial.


    EXAMPLE: 'Pin to Quick access' context menu

  2. Can't unpin FTP location from Quick Access

    I've pinned an FTP location to the Quick Access menu in Windows 10 Explorer, but now cannot unpin it.

    To replicate:

    1. Browse to an FTP location in Windows Explorer

    2. Right-click "Quick Access"

    3. Select "Pin current folder to Quick access"

    4. Right-click the newly pinned folder

    You should see that there is no option to unpin the folder. The context menu only offers the (greyed out) option to "Expand".

    Notably, this pin only appears in Explorer and not in the jump lists (for example by right-clicking Explorer from the task bar).

    How do I remove this pin?

  3. Quick access pinning and unpinning does not work in Windows 10.

    In an Explorer window, my Windows 10 "Quick Access" menu does not take new pins or remove existing ones based on folder actions initiated via the right-click menus.

    For example, if I right click "Folder XYZ" in an Explorer window, select "Pin to Quick Access" - it does not get added to the Quick Access menu.

    If I right click an item in the Quick Access menu, select "Unpin from Quick Access" - it does not get removed from the Quick Access menu.

    So the old "Favourites" functionality is gone. There appears to be zero control on this replacement menu.

    Hello Anton, *Smile

    The remove download will delete those registry keys, so that would be why you're not finding them.

  5. LOL! That makes sense, though I don't remember seeing them beforehand. Probably an issue with my memory *Smile
