Tech Tip - Pin Frequently Used Locations Using File Explorer Quick Access
If you have files or folders or drives that you access the most frequently, then you can use Windows File Explorer to pin them to "Quick Access" meaning you do not have to navigate through layers of directories to get to them.
Here is how to do it:
- Open Windows File Explorer (Windows key + E)
- Browse through the files and folders to find the file or folder you want to pin
- Right click on the drive, file or folder and select "Pin to quick access"
- This will now appear in the quick access area of Windows Explorer, making things far easier to find and use
- If you no longer need it on quick access, in the quick access area, right click on what you no longer need to pin and select "Unpin from quick access"
This is a really good tip if you regularly find yourself browsing through layers of files and folders to access the same files and folders every day
