    How do I change the order of items in the navigation pane?


    As you can see, MEGA and One Drive are on the top with Home Folder, but Dropbox an Gdrive are on the bottom, I want them all to be in one place, top or bottom, or... I know Windows doesn't have that freature, but maybe from Registry? "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID" are the 4 entries that correspond to the 4 cloud accounts, but I don't know anything else... What can I do?

    :)

    Windows 10 Explorer navigation pane order

    Hey there,

    I'm trying to find out, if there is any way to rearrange the order of items in the Windows 10 explorer's navigation pane (the one on the left hand side).
    Currently, the "Quick Access" list is on top, followed by "OneDrive" and "This PC" is the last one.
    I'd like to have "This PC" on top, then "OneDrive" and then "Quick Access".

    Also, I'd like to know, if it is possible to change the order of items in the "This PC"-category. I tried with the Winareo Tweaker, but it looks like there is no option for this customization. :-/

    Thanks for any reply in advance!

    Drive listing on navigation pane

    Since updating to version 1511, I've noticed that the navigation pane in file explorer no longer lists my drives in order of the drive letters. They are now listed based on the nickname of the drive which after all these years makes it very confusing. I
    now have to be scrolling the list to make sure I'm opening the correct drive. ANNOYING.

    Is there a simple way to force the navigation pane to list them in order of drive letters?

    Modify Navigation Pane

    Thank you, sorry it has taken so long to follow up.

    The suggested actions did not resolve the problem. I want to add/remove items from the navigation pane (left hand side) of a windows explorer window. When I reset the folders, it did remove my libraries from the navigation pane; which I expected. They
    are not hard to get back so that is not an issue.

    The current issue is I want to remove "Dropbox" from the navigation pane. More fundamentally, I want the ability to remove or add items to the navigation pane.
