Customizing the File Explorer Navigation Pane

Use Folders to Customize Quick Access in Navigation Pane

Saturday, August 30, 2025 by pelaird | Discussion: OS Customization

Make use of Empty folders to customize Quick Access in the File Explorer navigation pane.

This works a little like my Taskbar Separators. Create NEW folders and name them as Section headers, and then give them a unique icon. You can use a different icon for each separator, or use the same icon for each.

As an example, here's a pic of my Quick Access using a green star icon. Have FUN!
