Folders in "Favorites" (Home) ?

I'm trying my best to adapt to the design changes of Windows 11, and trying to understand the rationale behind it.

I like the idea of "Home" but I would also be able to pin folders, not just files. Is there any known script or workaround to fix this?

I could of course pin folders to "Quick Access", which also then shows up in "Home". That, however, creates a hugely bloated structure (and not enough space for several folders).

Thanks!

Unless Brink knows a way, I do not. I utilize Pin to Quick Access and find it far from being bloated. I also utilized the tutorial section and ended up with what, in my opinion, is a clean file explorer look.

I kept a list of all the tweaks I made to get Windows 11 more usable for me in every aspect, not just file explorer. . I also incorporated them into one running reg file so that I can apply them all at once with any new install I do..
