Is there a non-screwy way to have "favorites" in the navigation pane like in Win 7?
For now I accomplish something similar by pinning folders to the start menu, but I'd like it all in the file manager if possible.
It's already there by default.
It's now called Quick access and is merely File explorer Favourites renamed.
Add or Remove Quick access in Navigation Pane of File Explorer - TenForumsTutorials
All the best,

Welcome to TenForums.
It's really worth making time to browse through the Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every page.- At the foot of the Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.- Tutorials are also listed by category at Tutorials - there's also a shortcut to that at the top of every page.
- I download a new copy each month.
- By downloading it as a spreadsheet I can benefit from Excel's excellent filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.
- Both tutorial lists are searchable.
- You can also search for TenForumsTutorials in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com/tutorials after your search term. For example,
taskbar toolbars site:tenforums.com/tutorials
You can search TenForums using the search box in the top-right corner of all TenForums webpages or using Advanced Search - TenForums
- You can also search TenForums threads in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com after your search term. For example,
Search for drivers by HardwareID site:tenforums.com
- [This is what the search box in the top-right corner of TenForums webpages does automatically]
Hi, the way I do it is to use 3rd party tools.
You can
a. Have extra buttons in the title bar -> recent and favourite items
- there are freeware e.g.
eXtra Buttons: utility buttons in the title of the window
and licensed options
b. e.g. middle click mouse button in empty space and have a menu pop up with Favourite and recent items
(Listary- free is good enough). Example of Listary showing Favorites and Recent (it has several functons):
Advantage: these are then available in many Open and Save as dialogues- not just file explorer.
As for Quick Access: several tutorials:

- more listed in a section below the main text.
