    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Can't Unpin a Symbolic Links from Quick Access in Explorer in Windows 10

    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?
