Quick Access to Your Important Folders<\/h1>\n

This tip applies to all versions of Windows 10<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Quick access is\u00a0a very nice feature of Windows 10, but only if you use it. If you do use it, it will keep the\u00a0folders that you access most, at your finger tips. Quick Access is something\u00a0like Libraries in Windows 7, only much easier to use and easier to understand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quick access is a feature of \u00a0Windows 10\u2019s File Explorer. <\/strong>Windows File Explorer is similar to Windows Explorer that was in all previous versions of Windows, but has more features. And one of the best of those new features\u00a0is Quick Access.<\/p>\n

You can access File Explorer and its Quick access feature by pressing Windows Key + E, from your Windows 10 Start menu, or by clicking on the folder icon on your taskbar.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll notice in the screenshot below, on the left side,under Quick access, there\u2019s a list of the folders I used most. As you can see I\u2019ve added quite a few. You will also notice that the folders in Quick access are\u00a0also listed under Frequent folders in the right pane.<\/p>\n

If you click on one of the folders under \u201cQuick access\u201d on the left, you\u2019ll see its contents on the right.<\/p>\n

But wait, there\u2019s more. You can add any folder, anywhere on you computer to the Quick Access menu.<\/p>\n

Above, I added my \u201cUser\u201d folder \u201cthunder\u201d (from C:\\Users\\thunder) to my Quick access menu. All I had to do is highlight the folder I want to pin to Quick access, right-click it and choose \u201cPin to Quick access\u201d or I can also click the \u201cPin to Quick access\u201d button on the toolbar. \u00a0You can see, above, \u00a0as soon as I pinned the folder to Quick access , it immediately appears in the list under Quick access. My User folder \u201cthunder\u201d is a folder I use very often\u2026 and now easy to access because it\u2019s \u00a0now pinned to my Quick access menu. It is instantly available from any File Explorer window.<\/p>\n

Should you need to navigate to other locations on your computer, click on \u201cThis PC\u201d. When you click on \u201cThis PC\u201d you\u2019ll see all your files, folders and drives and not just your most frequently accessed folders.<\/p>\n

Adding folders that you use often to your Quick access menu is a great way to save time and keep the folders you use most at your fingertips.<\/p>\n

And remember \u2013 you can pin any folder on your PC to the Quick access menu. And once you do, you’ll have easy access to the folders you use most often.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
