[SOLVED] Can’t pin folders to Quick Access (The parameter is incorrect.)
Question. I am trying to pin my Google Drive folder to the new “Quick access” list in Windows 10 but it fails with a dialog showing “The parameter is incorrect“. Can you help?
Answer. Certainly! Please try the following 🙂
#1 Open a command prompt (it does not have to have administrator privileges)
#2 Paste:
del /F /Q %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations
(all one line)
The magic command to fix Quick Access woes
#3 Press Enter key to run the command
Voila, you should be able to add any folder now, including Google Drive or Music or whatever. Woot! 🙂
Okay, now we got this!
Awesome! Worked like a charm. Was really driving me nuts.
