最近升级到Windows 10后,我注意到每当我打开Explorer时,它总是会显示 Quick Access。我喜欢新的快速访问功能(Quick Access feature),但我更喜欢让资源管理器(Explorer)打开这台电脑。
对我来说,能够访问计算机上的不同驱动器和我的网络设备远比访问常用文件夹或最近打开的文件重要得多。这是一个有用的功能,但我不介意(t mind)单击一次即可访问它。
在这篇文章中,我将向您展示如何在打开资源管理器时将(Explorer)默认文件夹(default folder)从“快速访问(Quick Access)”更改为“此电脑(This PC)” 。此外,我还将向您展示一个技巧,您可以在Windows 10中打开资源管理器时将任何文件夹设置为(Explorer)默认文件夹(default folder)。
将默认文件夹设置为此 PC
要更改设置,请打开资源管理器(Explorer),单击文件(File),然后单击更改文件夹和搜索选项(Change folder and search options)。
在弹出的对话框中,您应该已经在“常规(General)”选项卡上。在最顶部,您会看到打开文件资源管理器(Open File Explorer to),您可以在其中选择这台电脑(This PC)和快速访问( Quick Access)。
只需选择您喜欢的文件夹即可!现在,当您打开资源管理器(Explorer)时,您应该会看到它打开到选中的这台电脑,而不是快速访问(Quick Access)。
如果您需要在公司环境中的许多机器上执行此操作,您会很高兴知道有一个注册表项(registry entry)也可以控制此设置。只需导航到以下键:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
在右侧,(hand side)查找名为Launch To的(Launch To)DWORD 键(DWORD key)。1 表示这台电脑,2 表示快速访问(Access)。
最后,让我们谈谈我们如何配置资源管理器(Explorer)以打开任何文件夹作为默认文件夹(default folder)。
将任何文件夹设置(Set Any Folder)为资源管理器的(Explorer)默认(Default)文件夹
由于确实没有任何官方方法可以做到这一点,我们必须对Windows进行某种破解才能让它做我们想做的事情。我已经对其进行了测试,并且该过程似乎运行良好。首先,找到您的文件夹并在桌面上创建文件夹的快捷方式。
例如,如果我想使用图片文件夹作为我的默认文件夹(default folder),我会右键单击它,选择发送到( Send to),然后单击桌面(创建快捷方式)(Desktop (create shortcut))。接下来,我们需要将该快捷方式复制到Windows中的一个特殊位置。首先(First),让我们打开资源管理器(Explorer)并转到那个特殊位置。只需将(Just copy and paste)以下路径复制并粘贴到另一个资源管理器窗口(Explorer window)的地址栏中:
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar
(Make)将路径粘贴到Explorer后,(Explorer)请确保按Enter。根据固定在任务栏上的其他内容,您可能会在此处看到多个程序的快捷方式,但您应该始终看到文件资源管理器( File Explorer)快捷方式。
现在继续将我们刚刚从您的桌面创建的快捷方式拖到您在Explorer中打开的特殊文件夹中。现在我们必须做最后一件事。继续并删除File Explorer 快捷方式(File Explorer shortcut)并将Pictures Shortcut重命名为File Explorer。如果您选择了与 Pictures 不同的文件夹,则将该快捷方式的名称更改为File Explorer。
就是这样!现在从您的任务栏打开文件资源管理(File explorer)器,您应该可以查看您选择作为默认文件夹的(default folder)任何文件夹(whichever folder)的内容。
值得注意的是,这个小技巧只有在您单击任务栏上的资源管理器图标(Explorer icon)时才会起作用。如果您通过双击桌面上的这台电脑或点击开始(Start)然后点击文件资源管理器(File Explorer)打开资源管理器,您将看到这台电脑或快速访问,具体取决于设置中选择的选项。
如果您想撤消我们刚刚在上面所做的操作,您只需右键单击任务栏中的Explorer并选择Unpin from taskbar。之后,只需将这台电脑图标(PC icon)从桌面拖放(desktop and drop)到任务栏上即可。这将创建一个新的资源管理器快捷方式(Explorer shortcut),它会正常工作。
将文件夹固定到快速访问
如果您不喜欢上述两个选项中的任何一个,那么您在Windows 10中确实还有另一个选择。您可以使用与快速访问(Quick Access)相关联的新固定文件夹功能。当您打开资源管理器(Explorer)时,您会在快速访问(Quick Access)下的几个文件夹旁边看到一个图钉图标(pin icon)。
桌面(Desktop)、下载(Downloads)、文档(Documents)、图片(Pictures)、这台电脑和音乐文件夹(PC and Music folders)在Windows 10中默认固定。如果要删除其中任何一个,只需右键单击并选择Unpin from Quick Access。
但是,如果您想一键访问(click access)计算机上的任何文件夹,请导航到该文件夹,然后右键单击快速访问(Quick Access)并选择将当前文件夹固定到快速访问(Pin current folder to Quick Access)。
如您所见,这就是我将Program Files 文件夹(Program Files folder)固定到我的快速访问部分(Quick Access section)的方式。使用这种方法,您不必求助于任何黑客,您还可以通过两次单击快速访问系统上的任何文件夹。
最后,您还可以通过右键单击任务栏中的文件资源管理器图标(File Explorer icon)并选择您的固定文件夹来快速访问该固定文件夹,该文件夹将显示在跳转列表中。
因此,总而言之,如果您想更改系统范围内的默认文件夹(default folder system-wide),您只能在 This PC 和 Quick Access(PC and Quick Access)之间进行选择。如果您使用涉及快捷方式破解(shortcut hack)的第二种方法,那么您必须使用任务栏中的快捷方式。
最后,如果您只需要快速访问文件夹,请尝试使用“快速访问”选项(Quick Access option),因为该选项也是系统范围的,即使在您浏览其他文件夹时也会保留在左侧。如果您有任何问题,请发表评论。享受!
Set Default Folder When Opening Explorer in Windows 10
After upgrading to Windоws 10 recently, I noticed that whеnever I opened Explorer, it would always show me Qυick Access. I like thе new Quіck Access feature, but I preferred to have Explorer open to This PC instead.
For me, being able to access the different drives on the computer and my network devices was far more important than accessing frequently used folders or recently opened files. It’s a useful feature, but I don’t mind having to click once to access it.
In this post, I’ll show you how to change the default folder from Quick Access to This PC when opening Explorer. In addition, I’ll also show you a trick whereby you can set any folder to be the default folder when opening Explorer in Windows 10.
Set Default Folder to This PC
To change the setting, open Explorer, click on File and then click on Change folder and search options.
In the dialog that pops up, you should already be on the General tab. At the very top, you’ll see Open File Explorer to where you can select from This PC and Quick Access.
Just pick whichever folder you prefer and you’re good to go! Now when you open Explorer, you should see it open to This PC selected instead of Quick Access.
If you need to do this on many machines in a corporate environment, you’ll be happy to know that there is a registry entry that controls this setting also. Just navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
On the right hand side, look for a DWORD key named Launch To. 1 means This PC and 2 means Quick Access.
Finally, let’s talk about how we can configure Explorer to open up to any folder as the default folder.
Set Any Folder as Default for Explorer
Since there really isn’t any official way to do this, we have to kind of hack Windows to get it to do what we want. I’ve tested it out and the process seems to work just fine. To get started, find your folder and create a shortcut to the folder on your desktop.
For example, if I wanted to use the Pictures folder as my default folder, I would right-click on it, choose Send to and then click on Desktop (create shortcut). Next, we need to copy that shortcut into a special location in Windows. First, let’s open Explorer and go to that special location. Just copy and paste the following path into the address bar in another Explorer window:
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar
Make sure to press Enter after you paste the path into Explorer. Depending on what else is pinned to your taskbar, you might see shortcuts to several programs here, but you should always see a File Explorer shortcut.
Now go ahead and drag the shortcut that we just created from your desktop into the special folder you have open in Explorer. Now we have to do one last thing. Go ahead and delete the File Explorer shortcut and rename the Pictures Shortcut to File Explorer. If you chose a different folder than Pictures, then change whatever the name of that shortcut is to File Explorer.
That’s about it! Now open File explorer from your taskbar and you should be viewing the contents of whichever folder you chose to be the default folder.
It’s worth noting that this little trick will only work when you click on the Explorer icon on your taskbar. If you open Explorer by double-clicking on This PC on the desktop or by clicking on Start and then File Explorer, you’ll either see This PC or Quick Access, depending on which option is chosen in the settings.
If you want to undo what we just did above, all you have to do is right-click on Explorer in the taskbar and choose Unpin from taskbar. After that, just drag the This PC icon from your desktop and drop it onto the taskbar again. This will create a new Explorer shortcut and it’ll work normally.
Pin Folders to Quick Access
If you don’t like any of the two options above, you do have one other choice in Windows 10. You could use the new pinned folders feature that is associated with Quick Access. When you open Explorer, you’ll see a pin icon next to several folders under Quick Access.
The Desktop, Downloads, Documents, Pictures, This PC and Music folders are pinned by default in Windows 10. If you want to remove any of them, just right-click and choose Unpin from Quick Access.
However, if you want one click access to any folder on your computer, navigate to that folder, then right-click on Quick Access and choose Pin current folder to Quick Access.
As you can see, this is how I pinned the Program Files folder to my Quick Access section. Using this method, you don’t have to resort to any hacks and you can also quickly access any folder on your system with two clicks.
Lastly, you can also get to that pinned folder quickly by simply right-clicking on the File Explorer icon in your taskbar and choosing your pinned folder, which will show up in the jumplist.
So in summary, if you want to change the default folder system-wide, you can only pick between This PC and Quick Access. If you use the second method involving the shortcut hack, then you have to use the shortcut from the taskbar.
Lastly, if you just need quick access to a folder, try using the pin to Quick Access option as that will also be system-wide and will remain in the left-hand side even as you browse through other folders. If you have any questions, post a comment. Enjoy!
