    I searched for a means to import my old Windows 7 Windows Explorer Favorites into the new File Explorer Quick Access of Windows 10.

    I read many posts about the differences between them regarding their functions (pinning of folders in Quick Access) but after all that, I wonder if there is a location where these shortcuts are stored (such as C:\User\AppData...).

    I work on a network and have saved many shortcuts in the Windows 7 favorites. I've had to change my computer which now runs with Windows 10.
