The File Explorer program, formerly known as Windows Explorer, has been a core element of the operating system for decades. Like most of the various portions of the operating system, it’s been given a noticeable overhaul in Windows 10. There are plenty of new tools to get acclimated to, though the basic layout and functionality will be familiar to anyone who has used Windows XP or later. Here’s a quick guide on some of the finer points of the new File Explorer. Quick Access The Quick Access area, which by default is the first section of the Navigation Pane in the left-hand column, is essentially a “Bookmarks” bar for File Explorer. It shows both your most recently-accessed folders and “pinned” folders, folders that you manually assign to this area to quickly get to from any folder in Windows.
You can do this with any folder in Windows: just right-click or long-press any folder on any screen, then click “Pin to Quick access.”.

Dragging and dropping files and folders will move them (or copy them, if they’re on a separate drive). To remove a folder from the Quick Access view, simply click the pin icon to the right of the folder label. To remove frequently-accessed folders, right-click the folder then select “Remove from Quick Access.” OneDrive, Microsoft’s cloud storage service, gets a dedicated folder beneath the Quick Access area.
Other folders on your computer are available in a tree view below OneDrive. Ribbon interface Most of the user interface space of File Explorer is dedicated simply to displaying icons and the tree view on the left side, because opening and moving files and folders is what you’ll be doing 90% of the time. More advanced functions are available in the ribbon interface (introduced in Windows 8), which you can open by clicking Home, Share, or View. You can make this area visible at all times by clicking the “down” button next to the folder name in the window header, then de-selecting “Minimize the Ribbon.”.
Michael Crider/Digital Trends The View tab is where some of the more interesting tools are located. Here you can enable or disable the Navigation pane (where the Quick Access section is) and show or hide separate panes for Preview (which will show larger versions of things like photos or videos) and Details (which show more technical aspects of a file or group of files at a glance).
In the Layout section, you can select entirely different views for this specific folder. More advanced tools are available by clicking the “Options” icon, then clicking “Change folder and search options.” Try out all of the different view options – you may find that some of them are very useful, especially in folders with large amounts of files.
File menu In later versions of Windows a lot of the functionality in the File menu has been moved to other portions of File Explorer, but there are still a couple of handy tools here for power users. For both the Command Prompt and Windows PowerShell tools, the File menu will let you open new instances with the current folder already active (which can save a lot of tedious typing). Need administrator privileges? Just hover over the icon, then click “Open command prompt/Windows PowerShell as administrator.”. Michael Crider/Digital Trends There are a couple of other tricks as well. To quickly get to a Quick Access folder without using the mouse, click Alt + F to open the File Menu. From here, click any 1-0 number key to open the corresponding Quick Access folder in sequence.
