    Quick Access bar

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    We would be glad to help you with the issue you are facing today. I understand the difficulty.

    Remove items from Quick access.

    I would suggest you to follow the below steps.

    • Right click on the file or folder.
    • Select the option “unpin from the quick access”


    To pin items to an item already on the quick access bar.

    Follow the below steps.

    I would suggest you to create folder in the desktop screen & place all the files or folder which need to pin to the quick access.

    • Open the quick access.
    • Select the Desktop option.
    • Right click on the folder & select the option “pin to quick access”


    Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.



    Thank you.

    Is it possible to add FILES to Quick Access?


    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.

    Recently opened (word) file not showing up in File Explorer Quick Access Recent Files

    Running Windows 10 Home

    Every file (word, excel, pdf, jpeg, etc) that I open shows up in my "File Explorer Quick Access Recent Files" list, except one. It's a Word file (.docx) and I have other files of the same type in my list. Any thoughts on why?

    Thanks,

    David
