Open My Computer by Explorer

OPEN “MY COMPUTER” BY DEFAULT WHEN OPENING EXPLORER !

First of all, Welcome to My Learned Tricks blog.

There are a lot of changes in Windows 10 as compared to previous versions. Some of them are a bit strange to some users, and we’ve been discussing such things all these time. Today, let me explain you a most anticipated tip.

When you open Windows Explorer from the Taskbar, you will be brought Quick Access folder, which contains Recent Files & Folders, Frequently used Folders etc. Most users doesn’t like this feature, and here is how to change the Quick Access view into This PC (formerly My Computer) when opening Windows Explorer.

Open any Folder and in the Ribbon, navigate to View and open Options
A windows opens up and there in General tab, change the option Open File Explorer to intoThis PC

Click OK and that’s it! Now, you’ll get My Computer when you open Windows Explorer :)

Also, there are ways to customize the Quick Access view instead of changing to This PC. In the above image, you can see a section called Privacy, there you can restrict the Recent files or such things to customize the view.
