Windows 10: Quick access folder

Hello guys..

When i open something like Downloads or Pictures open automaticaly and the same folders to ''This PC''


How can i disable this ? Thanks





:)

 

Why does My Win 10 have three Desktop folders?

Hi,

Let me explain you the feature of Quick access.

The Quick access view provides access to frequently used folders and recently used files. It was previously called “Favorites” in the previous windows version.

This feature provides a way to navigate the local file structure and then drag a folder you accessed regularly to the Quick Access area for easy, quick access. i.e., if you access a particular folder in your hard drive frequently you can pin it to
the quick access section. It just acts as a shortcut to your folders.

As I mentioned in my previous post you can pin/unpin the folders from the Quick access section.

To pin a folder to, right click on the folder and select “Pin to Quick access”.

To unpin a folder, right click on the folder shortcut present in the quick access and select “Unpin from Quick access”.

Hope the information helps, do reply if you need further assistance.

Thank you.

 

Disable "Quick Access"

To disable Quick Access without breaking drag-drop support, try the edit here:

How To Remove Quick Access, Folders (6) And Other Shell Folders From File Explorer?:

Note that this disables Quick Access functionality, but the Quick Access star icon would be still present, but dimmed and non-expandable. My edit sets the quick access shell folder DWORD to 88000.

 

Hi. Go to settings app. type in "explorer" and select file explorer options.

A dialog appears and you can change the settings there. You can also tell explorer what to open such as ThisPC or QuickAccess. You can also disable recent files.

 

Can u tell me please what need to select or disable?

 

In the drop down select ThisPC. In Privacy untick the two boxes.

 

YES...Work perfect...

Thank you mate for your reply..*Biggrin

 

Not work for me

This options right?

 

I'm not sure if you're asking how to remove the two references to the same folder or how to stop expanding the folder when it's opened.


To remove personal folders from the navigation pane and the main pane of File Explorer, see:
This PC 'Folders' - Add or Remove in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
You could also simply right click the folder in Quick Access and select remove from the list - leaving only one reference under This PC

To stop expanding the current folder
Right click an open area of the navigation pane
De-select Expand to current folder

 

Download this

and work perfect.

Thanks mate.

 

You're welcome, glad you got it sorted.
