    Someone in the thread I started recommended this tutorial.

    I'm trying to resolve a problem where a Quick Access search does not search the Pictures folder. Only if I select the Pictures folder separately does a search find anything in that folder.

    I want to be able to jointly search all the Quick Access folders.

    The Pictures folder does appear in the Quick Access section and the This PC section in File Explorer...

    It would be best to continue your search issue in your other thread below to keep this tutorial on topic.

    Hello Okan,

    You could leave the "Downloads" folder pinned to Quick Access to have it under it in the navigation pane.

    How do I stop Windows 10 from adding these folders to Documents. I only want a few of them and not have these others adding automaticly. So, I have to remove some then turn off the add links to Documents. How do I do That.

    @bmazak,

    Usually, it would be 3rd party apps that may add their own folder inside your Documents folder. Sometimes, you can select in the app's settings where to keep the folder instead.

    Regarding Option Two
    The removed folders will still be in your actual "C:\Users\(user-name)" (%UserProfile%) folder location in File Explorer.

    Is there a way to remove folder from "C:\Users\(user-name)".

    Is it okay to remove One Drive File Explorer folder via
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}
    After navigating to the location above, look on the right side of the window. You’ll see a DWORD entry labeled System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree set to a value of 1 (one). To remove OneDrive from File Explorer in Windows 10, go ahead and double-click on that DWORD and set its value to 0 (zero).

    Hello @bjm,

    Yes, you could use that method (see tutorial below for more) to remove OneDrive from the navigation pane.
