    Seems like only folders can be added to Quick Access but I'd like to pin a handful of files (Word docs) which I access frequently. Is there a way to do it?

    Is it possible to add a custom image to pop ups created with a batch file.

    1.) I am referring to like a instruction file that you can create by saving a Notepad document as a .bat file they are very useful for carrying out multiple commands in CMD in turn.

    2.) The pop ups I am referring to are like windows error messages that you receive when a driver doesn't work or When a program crashes. They look something like this,

    but with a title, text and options in the boxes.

    Lastly, if it is not possible to add an image to this, do you know of another way to create custom pop ups that can have images?

  6. Thanks Brink.... but because these 4 files live in different locations on my system and will continuously evolve, I prefer to keep them in their current location. I think I'll send shortcuts to them from the desktop....that is, until Microsoft gives us the ability to add files to Quick Access. I'm a bit surprised why that functionality is not currently available!

    Easily. Context Menu (right-click), add whatever to quick access

  9. OK I think this is the best solution at the moment for FILES to have some sort of quick access. Otherwise I will create PDFs and put them in Evernote.

    You could pin them to context menu of Word. First you have to pin Word to taskbar, then you can manage the pinned files..
    But have no idea about Quick Access - you can have a list of recent files there. So if you clean this list and after that start your files, they will be there.

  11. Thanks for this other option about pinning them to context menu of Word. I had not thought about this.

    You're welcome! This is how I do it. After the project is done, start with the new one.
