Windows 10: Is this a decent way rename items in Quick Access folder?

I wasn't sure if I should ask the question or start a discussion, so I thought I would ask a question about a discussion.....Has anyone found a way to rename or customize the name of links in the quick access panel? The projects I work on all have the exact same folder structure, so when I navigate into the folders and pin the one that I would like to navigate to quickly, my quick access panel becomes useless due to it having 10 links all called "field data". I came up with this less than ideal work around, I found a way rename items in Quick Access foldersort of, but I was hoping that someo

Quick Access bar

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

We would be glad to help you with the issue you are facing today. I understand the difficulty.

Remove items from Quick access.

I would suggest you to follow the below steps.

• Right click on the file or folder.
• Select the option “unpin from the quick access”

To pin items to an item already on the quick access bar.

Follow the below steps.

I would suggest you to create folder in the desktop screen & place all the files or folder which need to pin to the quick access.

• Open the quick access.
• Select the Desktop option.
• Right click on the folder & select the option “pin to quick access”

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.



Thank you.

 

Rename pinned items in Windows Explorer? (Quick Access)

Here was my solution: I created a folder called "My Shortcuts" in My Documents and pinned it to the Quick Access bar. For each folder I want added, I create a shortcut and move it to the "My Shortcuts" folder. The shortcut can be renamed at will. It's
an extra click but it serves the purpose.

This is incredibly annoying. Instead of using OneDrive to synch to SharePoint 2013, I had to go back to using Network Folders/WebDAV (not entirely a bad thing) but the problem is that all SharePoint document libraries are called "Docs." Without the ability
to rename Quick Access items, I just have a long list of "Docs." Don't do what I did and go to properties to rename it because that actually renames the Folder itself (versus the shortcut).

 

Windows 10 - How to Rename Quick Access items

When I pin folder locations to the Quick Access list in Windows 10, I am seeking the option to be able to rename them.

I used to do this in Windows 8 Favorites list. 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?

Thanks for any comments.
