Add Folders to Favorites (Quick Access) in Windows 7 or 10
When you open Explorer in Windows 7 you will see a list of Favorites in the Navigation Pane. Microsoft has already put some there, but you can remove them and add your own favorite folders including Search Connectors.
In Windows 10 it’s called Quick Access instead of Favorites, but it works exactly the same way
Remove Folders from Favorites or Quick Access
By default, Microsoft has included some favorite locations that you may not want. The default locations are Desktop, Downloads, Recent Places, and Recorded TV if you’ve set up Live TV in Windows Media Center.
To delete the locations from Favorites, simply right-click on the location and select Remove from the context menu.
Add Folders to Favorites or Quick Access
While you’re in the folder you want to add, right-click on Favorites and select Add current location to Favorites.
If you’re in Windows 10 it will be called Quick Access instead of Favorites but it works the same way.
You can also drag a folder over to Favorites to link it there as well.
If you want to get the default locations back just right-click Favorites and select Restore favorite links. It won’t delete the locations you added, but will just restore the originals.
