Windows 10: Trying to Enable Quick Access Menu in Navigation Pane

I'm trying to enable the Quick Access Menu in the Navigation Pane of my File Explorer. I have a "Desktop" dropdown in my Navigation Pane that seems to link primarily to my OneDrive folders, though I can navigate to my hard drive after going through a few folders. When I attempt to pin a folder to Quick Access, it does not show up in the Navigation Pane. If I go into the File Explorer Options, and toggle the "Open File Explorer to:", I see the options "Home" and "This PC". I'd like to change this to the generic/standard navigation pane. How do I do this?

Remove Quick access from Navigation Pane in Windows 10  


I followed the steps in the this tutorial and was able to remove the Quick Access feature from the navigation pane of Windows Explorer - thanks for this.

However, the Quick Access feature can still be seen in the navigation pane of the save dialog explorer when trying to save a file from a web browser, for example. Do you have any tips on how to remove the Quick Access feature from this location as well?

 

Remove Quick access from Navigation Pane in Windows 10  


Well, in windows 10, microsoft not only replaced the old "favorites" in navigation pane of explorer with quick access (merging it with recent places), but also merged them with explorer's jump list. It is now not possible to pin some dirs in jumplists without pinning them also in quick access...

So, is there any way to restore the old and independed "favorites" menu in navigation pane? Note that the "links" folder remain into the user folder in windows 10?
