I just got done upgrading Windows 8 to Windows 10 and I've found that the 'Favorites' panel in Windows Explorer got replaced with a 'Quick Access' panel and I can't seem to find a way to rename the pinned items in Quick Access like I could for favorite items under Windows 8.
Some of my pinned items are program-generated folders and I really don't have the option to rename them.
Am I missing something or did the rename feature get left out?

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