    To turn the links on & off go to settings, personalization, start, choose which folders appear on start:

    You're welcome:)

    Something I once talked with @Kari about, some settings are actually a bit harder to find, than others, the way the Settings App is now designed(just as catastrophic as Control panel with every thing scattered).
    We both like and prefer using trees(slide out menus) :
    A tree is like the Navigation Pane in File Explorer on the left side.
    Adding a Settings toolbar to the Taskbar(like the desktop toolbar; see screenshot) with a slide out menu tree would make finding settings clearer and easier, IMO.


    Control Panel on Desktop Toolbar:

    Cliff S, thanks for your thoughts on this, and ESSENBE I am sorry I didn't make it clear in my post exactly what it was I was trying to achieve.
