Close. Closes the File Explorer window.

Frequent places. Here, for your convenience, is a listing of
important folders in your account (Desktop, Downloads,
Documents, Pictures, Music, and so on), plus folders you’ve

accessed recently. The idea is to save you some burrowing.

Tip
If you have a keyboard, you can save time by hitting the number next to the folder. In fact, all the
File menu commands offer keyboard shortcuts. See how it says “Open new window”? That
underline means you can type the N key to open a new window, rather than using the mouse or a
finger.

Home Tab

This tab of the Ribbon is, more or less, an exploded view of the shortcut
menu that would appear if you right-clicked a desktop icon. But Microsoft
research shows that a huge number of Windows fans don’t even know about
the shortcut menus—so by putting these commands in the Ribbon, the

company hopes to make these useful commands more “discoverable.”

Pin to Quick access. The “Quick access” area lists folders and
files you’ve used recently, so it’s easier to get back to them later.
By using this command, you can force icons to appear in this

folder. See “Details Pane”.

Copy, Cut, Paste. These commands let you copy, cut, and paste

icons from one window to another.

Copy path. This command copies the icon’s navigational path to

the Clipboard, ready for pasting somewhere. See “Copying or
Moving Files with the Ribbon”.
