Is there a way to increase the number of frequently accessed folders in Quick Access beyond four? I know how to pin folders to Quick Access. I want the number of recent frequently accessed folders to increase beyond the default.

Thanks,
Jeff

You can rightclick on just about any folder you have open and assign it a link in QuickAccess in the Explorer sidebar.

That I understand. What I want is a dynamic set of frequently visited folders in Quick Access that change as some folders disappear as they are less visited and some new one appear. At the moment that is limited to four folders. I would like more than four.

Ah. Dynamic. Well, Quickfolders do not have that functionality, but Recent files/folder in Explorer does.

Under Privacy in my screenie. "Show recently used files" and "Frequently used folders"

I disabled that since it gets cluttered real fast

Yeah, I do have Recent items pinned but as you say it is cluttered. I suspected Quick Access was limited to four but thought I would ask if there was a work around. Oh, well.

Thanks,
