🎉🚀 Happy 2026 Sale! IObit Pro Up to 90% Off PLUS $5 Extra Savings! 💥💻
Start the new year with a faster, cleaner, more secure PC. Grab it while it lasts!

File Explorer opens Quick Access by default, but you have the option to have File Explorer open This PC instead. Here's how.

By opening directly to This PC, you get quick access to the most frequently used folders (Documents, Videos, Pictures, Music, and Downloads) and any connected drives.



Open File Explorer.

Click on View > Options.

Near the top, click the dropdown box where you see Open file Explorer to:.

Click on This PC. Click on OK.



Close File Explorer and open it again to check it out.
