Hello everyone

Is there an easy way to restore this tab in the browser? I found out how to do it... but it's for pros.

Do you have a solution?

Hello,

This question is not clear enough, "The Desktop tab," in Quick Access?

The desktop for Windows is located at
C:\Users\UserName\Desktop

ReHello,

If you go to the location C:\Users\YourName\

And right-click on Desktop, do you see "Add to Quick Access"?

What is the name of your session if it's not your name (for example),

In your personal folder, I mean.

In the right-click menu, is there no "pin" or something like that?

These are things that I remove on mine.

(The quick access, and the Pin to... menu)

Hello,

The system files are probably hidden, which explains why we can't see them.

After that, just explore in This PC, C:, Users, MyName, and pin:

Which I put in quick access...

I couldn't rename it..

Right-click on the Start button, and in Terminal (Admin), enter this command

attrib +s +r "%userprofile%\desktop"
