But when I try to do this in Windows 10, I am forced to actually change the name of the actual folder, which I do not want to do. I am seeking to see if it possible to rename the names on Pinned Quick Access list, like I have done previously with Windows 8 favorties? To answer your query, you can refer on this link. Was this reply helpful?
Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. All folders are pinned under the same name. There is no way to tell which folder is located on which drive without clicking it. Once you rename the target folder, it becomes clear. Unfortunately, sometimes you cannot rename the target folder as it can be in use by other apps and services. The Quick Access location does not offer an option to rename pinned items:. See the following screenshot:. The mklink command will create a symbolic link to the folder you want to pin to Quick Access but this symbolic link will be stored with a new name inside the "Pinned Folders" directory.
So in my case, I should execute the following commands:. The result will be as follows:. This is quite a tedious method, but it works to give unique names i. Maybe some day, Microsoft will improve Quick Access feature and add native ability to rename pinned items.
As of this writing, the most recent Windows 10 build does not come with the ability to rename Quick Access pinned items. Another quirky workaround, but mklink workaround doesn't work for the network drives I need to access. Office Office Exchange Server.

The option to pin to Quick Access is in the context menu, but it does nothing. Tuesday, March 28, PM. Create a new Library named how you want the shortcut to appear Go to the Properties of this new Library and add your intended target folder Change the library icon, if you wish Right-click on this new Library and choose 'Pin to Quick Access' Granted, this will now add each 'shortcut' you wish to add to Quick Access to the Libraries section, but it's easy enough to simply hide the Libraries in Windows Explorer and utilize only Quick Access.

No creating libraries, no using "mklink" via command. Why in the heck does Windows 10 Quick Links operate any differently? This needs to be fixed asap Monday, April 17, PM. I agree. This is hideous. They've essentially ruined Quick Links. I can't even make a shortcut, change the name of that, and set that as a Quick Access link? I'm stuck with Windows 10 at the office and it's killing me.
Sure doesn't motivate me to upgrade to 10 on my personal devices. Thursday, May 25, PM. Thank you It's absolutely ridiculous they've invalidated the entire purpose of this bar for me. Links directories still exist.
Why not use them? In fact, they are accessible using shell:links so users needn't know where they are. BTW where were they in W7? Robert Aldwinckle Thanks for the workaround - agreed this is absolutely ridiculous Thursday, November 9, PM.
Mozley 1. I like the Library workaround but I've hit another snag. If I try to do this with a network location, it won't let me add it to a library because I can't index it. Any ideas how I can get around this? Friday, November 10, PM. Create a folder on your hard drive for shares. Create another folder in the above share.
