Quick Access in File Explorer offers a convenient and quick way to find all of your favorites. By adding Pin to quick access to your Context Menu, you can easily add or remove available items from Quick access.

Note that you can't pin files or folders, but if you're unsure, our registry files will let you know if something can be pinned by automatically showing you the Pin or Unpin option when you right-click on anything that can be pinned to Quick Access.

Download Add or Remove 'Pin to Quick Access' Context Menu and extract the two files.

Double-click on Pin to Quick access Context Menu - Add.reg or Pin to Quick access Context Menu - Remove.reg (Default).

Click Yes when prompted by User Account Control.
Click Yes when prompted by Registry Editor.

Click OK when prompted by the Registry Editor.

You might need to reboot or restart Explorer.
