What Is the Quick Access Folder in Windows 10?
Contents

When you start File Explorer in Windows 10, it displays Quick Access, where you see a list of the folders you browse most frequently and the files that you recently accessed. This list changes over time as you use different folders.

What does Remove from Quick Access do?

You can also remove items from Quick access. If something shows up that you don’t want to see again, right-click it and select Remove from Quick access. It won’t show up there anymore, even if you use it every day.

What files show up in quick access?

When you open File Explorer, by default, you’re directed to the Quick access view that shows you frequent folders and recent files. If you prefer to start in the This PC view that shows a list of all the drives, network locations, and profile folders, you can change this behavior from the Folder Options page.
