Windows 10: Make the File Explorer shortcut in taskbar show only the drives

When opening it i don't want to see Frequent folders and files, how can i change it so i can see only the drives?

Thanks!

Windows 10 - taskbar icons

The File Explorer icon on he taskbar opens File Explorer. That is what it is for.

If you want a file put on the taskbar as an icon that is a different thing. Make a shortcut and then pin it to the taskbar.

 

file explorer on taskbar not opening windows, and is copying shortcuts

it suddenly stopped working the shortcuts are not opening when i click on them is it a setting?:


and why is the shortcuts on the taskbar explorer (when u right click it like in the gif) have the same shortcuts as in the explorer window (the shortcuts on the sides) i have 39 shortcuts in the explorer
window and in the taskbar explorer icon it only shows a couple and i want to have different shortcuts there and sort them manually but they are all static i can't touch them! I can only remove them but then it removes them in the main explorer window too!
they are synced for some !"#!"#@ reason.

 

Hi @klappa,

You could collapse the 'Folders' portion with the small arrow:

The tutorial below can help show you how to remove "Folders" from This PC.

If you are referring to Quick access instead, then the tutorial below can help to open File Explorer to "This PC" instead of "Quick access".

Was it that simple! Thanks a bunch! This was never an option in Windows 8 i believe.

 

Glad we could help. *Smile
