This PC is the root directory for Windows Explorer as we've always 
known it. Quick Access is a directory of shortcuts recent files and 
folders where you can use first letter navigation as in any list 
view. However, Quick Access is read only, so you can't delete 
shortcuts directly from it. However,


when you delete the actual folders or files, their shortcuts will 
disappear from Quick Access. I use Quick Access a lot to open recent 
files and folders because it saves me many navigation steps. Also, in 
the File and Folder Options dialogue, you can set File Explorer to 
open either in This PC or Quick Settings. I tend to like it opening 
to This PC, but if you press home in that tree view, Quick Access is 
always at the top anyway.

I find the pc setting works best for me. 
I press windows key e, then alt up-arrow and can arrow down to PC and press
enter and then arrow down to what I want. I find this works particularly
well when I want to access my USB or DVD drives.

I have one more question about file explorer. There are two settings, one is
quick access, and the other is this pc. Which one functions more like the
old windows explorer? If neither does, then what is the difference between
the two, and which is more speech friendly? Thank you much.

Hi Butch,

I believe that the prhrase "quick access" is something you hear as you navigate 
Windows folders, but I ignore it.
The This PC icon is where I always go to when I want to review all my drives 
and then open the root folder of a particular drive by selecting one and 
pressing Enter.
However, please note that, as I suggested you would configure one of your 
folders and then make the changes global in Folder options, the display of your 
drives in This PC is a separate window altogether, and you'll have to configure 
it in the same way as I described before.
Otherwise, the names of the drives are not accessible, at least with 
Window-Eyes, which is all I use.

Best,

Rod
