    Remove Gray Pin icon from Quick access Navigation Pane


    For Pinned items in Quick Access in Win10 Navigation pane, a gray Pin icon is displayed beside each item.

    Can it be removed or made transparent with Reshacker?

    Note: I wanted to keep the Quick access feature so that I can still drag and drop in Nav pane.

    Thank you

    Note: Searching the forums did not bring up what i was Looking for

    Thanks to everyone that contributed to this thread over the years, especially @mykou

    I have been using another workaround.
    I just hide Quick Access and added my favorite folders to This PC using WinAero Tweaker.
    I feel this way explorer is much cleaner.

    How to remove an orphaned icon in quick access?

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    I suggest you to follow the below settings and check if it helps.

    • Press “Windows+E” it will launch Windows Explorer.
    • Click on “View” and click on “Options”.
    • To restore the default settings, I suggest you to click on “Restore Defaults”.

    Also you can remove the icon by logging as “Administrator” Mode and check if it helps.
