Adding a folder to This PC
Hi all,
Running W10 Pro x64. When I click on This PC, I see in the top of the screen 7 folders: 3D Objects, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures and Video's. I would like to add a folder there. I have a folder called PDF, with many PDF subdirs and files inside. How can I add this folder here? Many thanks in advance. Fokke Nauta

Fokke Nauta I think what you want is to add a folder to the 'Quick Access' list. To do so, right click on the folder and select Pin to Quick Access.

One thing it doesn't do, or at least the copy I have doesn't do, is change the color of the text in windows. Not sure that's possible in some cases, but it would be nice. I have a client who is constantly complaining the text in Yahoo Mail web client is hard for her to read. I need to play with Windows Mail, to see how that works. I won't reccommend TB to her, it would be too hard for her to grasp how it works. -- Ken MacOS 10.14.6 Firefox 70.0.1 Thunderbird 60.9 "My brain is like lightning, a quick flash and it's gone!"

Fokke, Below is an answer to a previous (similar) request which may serve your requirements. CmdrKeene Article Author | Volunteer Moderator Libraries don't do this, at least not directly. Although they are very similar to the technology that does, which is "search folders" (first introduced in Vista but somewhat modified in Windows 7). Anyway... Libraries really just "gather contents" from several locations. So your Documents library by default looks in two places, and shows everything it finds in one combined view for easy access of all documents, regardless of where they really are stored. Now if you want to have a library that looks inside your Documents folder, but only shows the PDF files, you can certainly do that, but not directly with a library by itself. --- To do this, first open your Document library, type *.pdf into the search box so that you're seeing all the PDF files in and under the Document library. Take a moment to set the style you like (group by date modified or author, sort by modified timestamp, whatever you like) and set the icon size you like. Then click "save search" on the toolbar. This search will be indexed and act like a library. As new PDF files show up in the computer, this search will automatically pick them up and show them, like a "live folder" that only shows PDFs.

Thanks for asking the question. The answer fitted a requirement that I had but wasn't aware of this solution !!
