How to disable Rapid Access

Post by raphaelmsx »

Hello people.

How to disable the "Rapid Access" menu item when left-click the arrow below the tab?

I don't know how it got enabled, I could disable on the tree list, but not on this one.

When I want to click "This PC" I automatically click on "Rapid Access"... (which I don't use).

Or if I can switch positions...

Please see screenshot and thanks in advance!

Go to Menu Tools > Configuration > Tree and List > Items in Tree and List > Select Items > Uncheck - Rapid Access folder

Yeah later I noticed your RapidAccess is under "This PC". The default or typical location is by itself above "This PC" and it's removed when unchecked it in Configuration. The Help file states:
In the folder tree the Rapid Access Folders are listed under a new super-section, Rapid Access, located above This PC and Network....To show the Rapid Access section, check Configuration | General | Tree and List | Items in Tree and List | Rapid
Have you tried to right click the Rapid Access entry in your tree and see if there's a delete menu item or can you move it above This PC? Are you using mini tree or maxi tree? What is your entry for MaxiTreePaths= in XYplorer.ini? Look for Rapid Access Folders under Main Topics in the Help file and take a look at this thread viewtopic.php?p=220643#p220643 and https://www.xyplorer.com/release_26.00.php

I don't know whats mini tree, maxi tree?

I can right click and choose "hide", but it only hides in the folder list.

I cannot move it under "This PC"

MaxiTreePaths=This PC

Look under the View menu to see if Mini tree is checked. If it is uncheck it and save. Try this: Change this entry in XYplorer.ini MaxiTreePaths=Rapid Access|This PC As you probably know, save the change in your editor, and then exit XYplorer WITHOUT SAVING, and then restart XYplorer. Hopefully that will put the Rapid Access folder by itself above This PC. This Rapid Access entry you should be able to enable and disable in Configuration as we already discussed. You'll probably will still have your original Rapid Access the entry (where it shouldn't be) that you'll have to delete.

Yes, mini tree was checked, after disabling it removed the rapid folders!!!

I probably enabled accidentally :titter:

Thanks very much!
