    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?:

    http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/remove-quick-access-other-shell-folders-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.
