In Windows 7, you can add a folder to quick access by dragging and dropping it into the address bar. You can also click on its shortcut on the taskbar to open it. This will open the Windows Explorer. You will then see it on the Quick Access list. If you want to customize it, you can also choose the Enable and Disable options.
Drag and drop
Sometimes the drag and drop feature in File Explorer doesn’t work properly. If this happens to you, there are several possible solutions. The first option is to create a new USER Account. This will allow you to run the process in a new environment and make sure that Drag and Drop works properly. However, it is important to back up your current USER Profile before you start the process.
Another option is to pin a folder or library to the Quick access menu. To pin a folder or library, click and hold it and drag it to the “Quick access” link in the navigation pane. When you are done dragging, release your left-click and the drive will appear in the Quick access section.
The process of adding a file to Quick Access is very similar to adding a folder to the Favorites section. To do this, navigate to the file that you wish to add to the list. Right-click the file and choose “Pin to Quick Access.” Drag the file to the folder in Quick Access, but be sure not to drag it over the actual Quick Access folder itself. Otherwise, the file will just be a shortcut to the file in the current Quick Access folder.
You can try changing the values of DragHeight and DragWidth in the registry. These values are set to 4 by default. After making these changes, you can test whether the problem persists or not. If this doesn’t work, reboot your computer and test the drag and drop functionality again.
Enable
Enabling quick access when adding folders in Windows 10 makes it easier to navigate through your files. You can also customize this feature by pinning or unpinning new folders. There are also options to clear access history and disable frequent folders. To enable this feature, simply open File Explorer and right-click on the folder name.
The Quick Access folder is a shortcut to the files and folders you use most often. If you disable this option, your files and folders will not be listed in the Quick Access pane. To disable this feature, click the Quick Access folder’s ‘LaunchTo’ property and change its value to 0.
You can also pin folders to Quick Access by right-clicking them and clicking the ‘Pin to Quick Access’ button. The pinned folders will appear in the File Explorer sidebar. If you’re not using the Quick Access feature, you can drag them to the sidebar to rearrange them.
Enabling quick access for folders is similar to pinning a folder in Windows 8.1. However, you can easily disable this option. To do this, you need to open the File Explorer ribbon and click on Options, then choose Change folder and search options. Then, you can change your shortcuts and folders’ visibility.
You can also remove frequently used folders from Quick access. To remove a folder from Quick access, click the three-dot menu icon. Then, in the Folder Options dialog, uncheck the “Show recently used files and folders in Quick access” checkbox. You can also clear the history of file and folder access.
Disable
If you want to disable quick access when adding folders, you have to edit the Windows registry. To do this, simply hit the Windows key + R. This will open a run command prompt window. Once in this window, open the ‘Registry Editor’. You’ll want to change the value of ‘HubMode’ to 1. This will disable quick access from showing in Windows Explorer.
Before making any changes to the registry, back up your computer first. This way, you can rollback changes to the registry without having to start from scratch. Also, you’ll want to make sure you’re logged in as an administrator. Otherwise, you may risk making your system unstable.
Another way to disable quick access is to delete frequently used folders. This can be done by selecting the folders in the “Recently Used Files” section of the window and unchecking the box next to it. Then, click on “Remove recently used files and folders from Quick Access” and click OK.
You can also disable quick access by using the registry value 88000. This will disable the Quick Access icon while preserving drag-and-drop functionality in the navigation pane. After clearing this checkbox, only pinned folders will appear in Quick Access. You can also change the start folder to This PC by changing the registry value 88000.
Alternatively, you can also remove the Quick Access toolbar altogether by right-clicking on a folder and selecting Disable Quick Access. This will prevent Quick Access from showing any folders that you’ve recently changed.
Customize
You can customize folders to show up on the Quick Access menu in a different way. First, you can right-click the folder you want to pin and choose ‘Pin to Quick Access.’ Once the folder is pinned, you can drag it to the sidebar of the Quick Access window or pane.
In the Folder Options window, click on the Privacy section. The Privacy section has options for how Quick Access will display the data. If you’d prefer not to see certain information, clear the Quick Access option. This can make your Quick Access interface simpler and remove unwanted data. You can also remove folders from the Quick Access list by right-clicking on the folder in the Quick Access window.
After you’ve pinned a folder, you can change the setting of this feature to display other folders. By default, Windows will show the most recently accessed folders. This feature allows you to easily access frequently used folders. You can add more folders to the list by right-clicking them in File Explorer.
Clicking the options button will bring up a drop-down menu where you can customize folders for quick access. You can also move or delete the toolbar. To customize it, right-click the folder and select “Pin to Quick Access.” To remove it, click “Unpin from Quick Access.” Once you’ve done that, it won’t appear on the Quick Access toolbar.
Remove
To remove a folder from Quick Access, you need to change its permissions. To do this, right-click on the folder and select Permissions. Select Advanced. In the new window, click Change. In the Type column, type ‘Administrator’. Click OK to confirm your change.
After the change has taken place, you can add or remove frequent folders. The process is similar to adding a file in File Explorer. To remove a frequent folder, you need to right-click on it and then select “Remove from quick access”. This will remove the folder from Quick Access and leave the file in its original location. It’s also possible to remove a folder from Quick Access by unpinning it first. Just make sure to click OK to confirm the merge.
Another way to remove a folder from Quick access is to unpin it from the This PC. The process is the same as removing a folder from File Explorer, but is slightly different. The first step is to delete the folder’s history by right-clicking it and choosing “Remove from Quick Access”. If you don’t want to do this, you can use the “Clear folder access history” option.
The second step is to remove the pinned folders from Quick access. You can do this by right-clicking the folder in File Explorer or by pressing Windows+E on your keyboard. You can also change the start folder to the folder you wish to remove. This way, you can keep the drag-and-drop functionality of the navigation pane.
After you have unpinned a folder, you can drag it to the navigation pane to make it visible in the Quick Access pane again.
