# How to Customize Quick Access in ComfortFiles

ComfortFiles is a Windows Explorer-style file manager for macOS.

Quick Access is the top section of the sidebar. Everything about it is editable from the sidebar itself — pin your own folders, drag rows into any order, and hide the built-in entries you don't use. There's no settings window to visit.

## Pin a folder

Right-click any folder — in the file list or in the sidebar tree — and choose **Pin to Quick access**. It appears as a shortcut at the bottom of the section, marked with a small pin. The folder itself doesn't move.

To remove one, right-click the pinned row and choose **Unpin from Quick access**. That deletes the shortcut only.

## Reorder the rows

Drag any row up or down. The new order is remembered across relaunches.

Every row can be moved, including **Recents** and pinned saved searches — Recents leads the list by default because that's the convention, not because it's fixed there.

## Hide the built-in entries

Desktop, Downloads, Documents, Pictures, Music, Movies, Applications, iCloud Drive, Trash and Recents are built in — they aren't pins, so there's nothing to unpin. Hide one instead:

- **Right-click the row** → **Hide from Quick Access**.

To bring it back — or to see what's currently hidden — **right-click the Quick Access heading**. The **Show** submenu lists every built-in entry with a checkmark next to the visible ones; click one to toggle it.

A hidden row keeps its place in your arrangement, so showing it again puts it back where it was rather than at the end.

## Good to know

- Pins and built-in entries mix freely in the order — arrange them however suits you.
- Hiding is per-Mac and persists; nothing is deleted, and the folders stay exactly where they are on disk.
