    How to add folders to This PC In Windows 11


    I am trying to set my new laptop up so in File Explorer, I can see my folders such as documents, pictures, musicon my Wind, downloads ,etc 11 Pro see attached. I can't see these folders on my new laptop which has Windows 11 Home edition - if that makes a difference. The second pic is my new laptop - where I can only see those folders in Quick Access, which I don't want. I found some instructions on how to fix this, but they stop when it says #3, right click - new share https://techwiser.com/how-to-add-any-custom-folder-to-this-pc-file-explorer-on-windows-10-11/#:~:text=Navigate%20to%20

    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

    Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

    Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

    • I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.


    • Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.
    That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

    Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.
