>>>Hi everybody,
>>>
>>>In Windows 7 I was able to somehow add folders to the top of the WE window so I can access them quickly. In Windows 10 I found the option to Pin to Start, but it doesn't help me much as I have two folders / one in Program Files(86) and one in ProgramData named the same. I need a way to see the description of the folder, but I see no way to add it.
>>>
>>>What should I do in Windows 10 to ease the access to folders I often need to open?

>>>Thanks in advance.

>>Okay, so it's not what you're asking for, but would creating a toolbar on the taskbar be of any help?

You're right - it has *nothing* to do with your question -- sorry. Misread your question completely.
I did try out creating a shortcut (and used a different name) to a folder, then tried pinning the shortcut to the quick-access bar, but found out Windows would outsmart me and display the name of the folder (rather than the name of the shortcut) anyway. I wonder if I would have any better luck if I tried something ankin to a symbolic link in Unix?. ( Okay, again this has nothing to do with your question -- just posting an observation )
