Then, effectively, there is no way to provide in W11 what W10 offers in collapsing the Quick Access menu. Sounds like regression to me.

When items are removed from the Quick Access folders are they also removed from the Home menu? If so, this would not be the solution that I am looking for. Or would those folders still populate the Home menu/folder? This would be the closer to the solution that I desire.

@Brink: Is there a way in Win11 to "collapse" the "Home" menu analogous to collapsing the "QuickAccess" menu/folder in Win10? The "Home" menu listing in the nav pane can take up considerable vertical space.

Keep in mind that there are no files in the "IrisService" folder there are only subfolders. The following lines will copy the "folders" (in this particular case to the "Pictures\Camera Roll" folder...repath to suit...) and then open the destination folder in Explorer: set...

:wink:

True...the location of the "desktop" Spotlight background images is not in that folder...they are here: C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Packages\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalCache\Microsoft\IrisService

FWIW...Here is a snip of my Windows Explorer...

...try your VBS routine and see what it finds...

Are you using Spotlight images as your desktop background (Settings>Personalization>Background) ?

BINGO !!! That found the folder path...and it is circuitous. Here is the containing folder: C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Packages\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalCache\Microsoft\IrisService (note that there is no "." between "Microsoft" and "Windows") There are subfolders...

Hilarious! That's exactly what I did back in the XP and 7 days...just change the file extension...well done mate!

Thanks for looking. Unfortunately, the images contained in that folder do not match the spotlight images being used as the "current" Spotlight desktop backgrounds. Today's images include an image of "Stonehenge" (among others) which I cannot find anywhere on disk...at least not yet.

Of what value to you is disabling Ctfmon.exe? ...just curious as I also dealt with this issue back in the XP and 7 days.

+1...same issue here. The Spotlight images used as "desktop" background images are not stored in the same location as the "lockscreen" background images. Has anyone found the location???

Thx for confirmation of similar behavior, I appreciate the response. As noted in my OP, I did use "Microsoft Print to PDF" to work around the issue. Closing the entire browser to permit saving the file, while it may work, is not a useable solution unless it is a one-off save with no further...
