Windows 10 – Where Are Quick Access Settings Stored?

Sort of a hack, but I ended up using mklink to create Directory Junctions with the names I wanted, since they took away my beloved Favorites.

So, if I have a directory "c:\dir1", which I want to be named "Directory 1" in the Quick Access list, I would run:

mklink /J "c:\whatever\Directory 1" "c:\dir1"

Then you'll see "Directory 1" in "c:\whatever", which you can add to Quick Access, and it will be named "Directory 1".

I didn't find a user friendly way either.

Anyway, the pinned folders are stored in:
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations

I.e. typically in
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations

Just delete the files from there.
