Windows 10 users who have upgraded to the Fall Creators Update now have a new quick access section for backups in File Explorer. This section provides an easy way to see what backups are available, to restore individual files or folders, and to restore the entire system.
The new quick access section is available in File Explorer under This PC. It includes a list of all backups that are available, including those that were created with the built-in Windows 10 backup tool and those that were created with a third-party backup tool.
To restore a file or folder, select it in the list and click the Restore button. To restore the entire system, select the system backup and click the Restore button.
The quick access section also includes a link to the Windows 10 Recovery Environment. This environment provides a way to restore the system if it becomes corrupted or if there is a problem with the operating system.
The Fall Creators Update includes several other new features for backups, including the ability to back up files and folders to a OneDrive folder. This makes it easy to back up files and folders to the cloud, and it also provides a way to restore them if they are lost or damaged.

How do I restore the Quick Access folder in Windows 10?
The Quick Access folder in Windows 10 stores your most recently used files and folders. If you accidentally delete the Quick Access folder or want to restore it to its original state, you can do so using the following steps.
To restore the Quick Access folder in Windows 10, you’ll need to access the hidden folder hidden by default on all versions of Windows. This folder is known as the AppData folder.

In the AppData folder, navigate to the Local folder. Then, open the Microsoft folder. Finally, open the Windows folder.
Inside the Windows folder, you’ll find a folder named Quick Access. This is the folder that stores your most recently used files and folders. If you want to restore the Quick Access folder to its original state, delete this folder.
When you delete the Quick Access folder, Windows will recreate it automatically.

Where are quick access files stored?
Windows stores quick access files for recent files and folders in the \Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations folder.
The Recent folder contains a subfolder for each user account on the computer, and the AutomaticDestinations folder contains a subfolder for each program that registers a quick access file.
The Recent folder and the AutomaticDestinations folder are hidden by default, so you’ll need to show hidden files and folders to access them.
To show hidden files and folders, open File Explorer, click the View tab, and select the Hidden items check box.

Where are Windows 10 shortcuts stored?
Where are Windows 10 shortcuts stored?
This is a question that has been asked by many users of Windows 10. The answer is that Windows 10 shortcuts are stored in the Windows Registry.
The Windows Registry is a database that stores settings and options for the Windows operating system. It contains information about installed programs, the desktop, user profiles, and system configurations.
The registry is divided into several sections, or keys, and each key stores different information. The location of the shortcut keys in the registry is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
This key stores the location of the user’s shortcuts on the desktop and in the Start menu.
You can change the location of the shortcuts by editing the registry. However, it is recommended that you only edit the registry if you are familiar with the process and are confident that you can restore the registry if something goes wrong.
If you want to change the location of the shortcuts, you can use a registry editor such as RegEdit or RegEdit32 to modify the value of the “StartMenu” and “Desktop” entries in the User Shell Folders key.
The “StartMenu” entry stores the location of the shortcuts on the Start menu, and the “Desktop” entry stores the location of the shortcuts on the desktop.
The value of the “StartMenu” and “Desktop” entries is the path to the folder where the shortcuts are stored.
For example, if you want to move the shortcuts to the “C:\Users\Jim\Desktop” folder, you would set the value of the “Desktop” entry to “C:\Users\Jim\Desktop”.
If you want to move the shortcuts to a different folder, you can specify the path to the folder in the “StartMenu” and “Desktop” entries.
Note that if you move the shortcuts to a different folder, the shortcuts will not be available in the Start menu or on the desktop.
You can also create shortcuts to folders on the desktop or in the Start menu.
To create a shortcut to a folder on the desktop, right-click on the desktop and select “New > Shortcut”.
In the “Location” field, enter the path to the folder and click “Next”.
Enter a name for the shortcut and click “Finish”.
The shortcut will be created on the desktop.
To create a shortcut to a folder in the Start menu, right-click on the Start menu and select “New > Shortcut”.
In the “Location” field, enter the path to the folder and click “Next”.
Enter a name for the shortcut and click “Finish”.
The shortcut will be created in the Start menu.
How do I recover a folder from quick access?
