Is there a way to change the order of pinned folders in Windows 10?

In Windows 8 users are able to drag and drop the order of pinned folders on the task bar, but I haven't be able to figure this out in Windows 10. It seems like we are stuck with the order that we pin them in.


Solution 1:

You can adjust the order of the pinned folders by opening File Explorer with Win + E. The pinned items appear under Frequent Folders but also under "Quick Access" in the Navigation Pane on the left hand side. That's where you can drag them up or down.

Solution 2:

I find I can rearrange by drag-and-drop to some locations of the Quick Access list, but not all.

I haven't figured out exactly how it works, but it's quite weird. Depending on how I rearrange, more or less slots become "available" for drag-and-drop.

Solution 3:

I was not able to rearrange Quick Access after adding Libraries to it. After unpinning all of the libraries, I was able to rearrange items again.
