Windows 10: Quick access helps you work more

As the number of users becomes larger, the locations they use to store files are becoming more and more. Whether you're using a cloud location like OneDrive and Dropbox from your home, or using a network share in your workplace, OneDrive for business, and SharePoint, you'll encounter the same problem, which means that it's relatively more difficult to access these files quickly, This is because the user must dive into multiple file locations. It is because we see the existence of this situation that we have developed a feature called "Quick access" and implanted it into a file browser to figure out how to solve the problem in some way. In some previous versions of Windows, we have provided a feature called "Favorites" that allows users to pin some of their favorite folders to the same location. However, few users really take advantage of this functionality. The features we give "Quick access" are more than just a fixed folder, but rather a folder that automatically shows high-frequency usage based on how often you use them (so you don't have to fix them at any time), and it also shows the files you've visited recently (as we've found, Many users will repeatedly access their files). As you work with Windows, "Quick access" will change with you, becoming more and more relevant to your personal habits, and you can quickly travel between important files to speed up the processing of your daily tasks.

So what exactly does "Quick access" show you? The Navigation Pane displays the exact same folder as the main content area on the right. Folders with Pushpin tags will never leave on their own. At the very beginning, we will include some of the most common folders, but you have full control over which folder to fix. If the folder does not have a Pushpin tag, these folders are not part of the frequently used column. When you perform some operations such as opening a folder, creating a new file, and so on, the container folder is responsible for maintaining a self-increasing usage frequency score. As long as the value exceeds a certain threshold, the folder is displayed as a common folder in Quick access. We display up to 4 common folders and always list them under fixed items. Since we only display 4 of the highest-scoring folders, this column is subject to change at any time. If you want to make sure that a folder always does not leave, pin it. Finally, in the content area, we show the most recently used files. The files here are arranged in chronological order and the source path is also given.

Now you've learned the value of the existence of this feature, and what it shows and how you control it. If you are working on an item, you have stored it in your own onedrive\documents\spring Quarter\chem 120 folder. You just right-click the folder and select Pin to Quick access. It's so simple! At this point, the "CHEM 120" folder will appear in the Navigation Pane in "Quick Access" and will also appear in the content area. Don't you need it anymore? Just right-click it in quick Access and select Unpin from Quick access. What if a common folder has an item that is already closed, or if it has some embarrassing things to store? Just right-click it and select Remove from Quick access. Thereafter, even if you are still using the folder, it will not be displayed again. Of course, if you change your mind, you can always fix it back. Don't want to have the "Engagement Ring shopping Notes" file appear in "Recent Files"? No problem, you can also do this by right-clicking it and selecting "Remove from Quick access".

In some recent developments, we have also allowed you to reorder the pinned folders as you did in "Favorites." You can also click and drag a folder from anywhere (not necessarily a previously pinned folder), and then place it between any pinned folders displayed in Quick access in the Navigation Pane, with your control in order.

The nature of the work of some users determines that they cannot benefit from this new feature. We also want to benefit these users, so we've added several related settings to control how this functionality behaves. Go to the "View" menu and select "Options". Here you can close a single, common folder (you'll still see pinned folders, don't worry) or recently used files. Note that closing and re-opening will completely erase the history. Therefore, even if you have performed a remove operation on a file or folder, it may reappear when you use it again. The system also provides you with a button to clear the history, and the button will never disable the above features. Finally, if you prefer to set the start page of File Explorer to "this PC" instead of "Quick access," You can complete this setting at the top. Also, in the Navigation Pane, if you expand or collapse any of the major nodes such as "Quick access" or "This PC," we will keep this state for the next time you use it.

Now that you're fully proficient in the Quick access feature, you can save a few minutes from repeatedly accessing documents and downloads every day, and you can even save a few seconds of valuable time from repeatedly opening deep folders. When you want to add a file that has been processed as an e-mail attachment, or when you want to insert an image that you have recently edited into a PowerPoint presentation, you can try using Quick access in the File Picker dialog box to get extra productivity gains.
