If you right click on the folder and click properties that should tell you the path to that folder.

In Windows ten I believe it to be C:\users<user name>\pictures
Have not use Windows in a while so not exactly sure.

@gus is real knowledgeable within Windows 10.

This is path to display in Explorer and Q-Dir:
::{679F85CB-0220-4080-B29B-5540CC05AAB6}
but must to be used with program to display, e.g.:
explorer ::{679F85CB-0220-4080-B29B-5540CC05AAB6}

In command line is not possible to work with these folders.
Many items have similar link…
But it’s impossible to backup.

Post a screen shot of the properties screen showing the locations tab?

Another way may be to do a search for a file that is listed in one of the directories. If you have the search set to show in detail that will also show the directory that file is located in.

Just to confirm that you are talking about this section?

Yes, we are talking about that area, here’s screenshot and Clover bookmark path - but this path is not usable for backup…

Really have no idea how to backup items - better to say - links in Quick Access.

Quick Access is not a physical folder, but more like a pointer to display recently used folders. The contents listed in Quick access can be controlled/removed via Folder options app.

To backup the items listed in Quick Access all that is necessary is to use your backup software to backup the folders and files (or copy them) listed in the Quick Access dialogue box. To backup the network items accessed as below simply look in the files section and whatever was accessed will be listed there as shown. Do be aware that the contents of Quick Access will change very regularly as you access different file/folders on the PC.

You understand me not.
As first - I don’t want to backup content of folders pinned to Quick Access.
I want to backup links to them - this means only LNK files list.
Why?
I’m going to reinstall Windows and don’t want again pin items one by one to Quick Access… simplle copy links to Quick Access location and this saves me time.

Backup Quick Access Toolbar buttons in Windows 10

No, this is about Quick Access toolbar.
I mean this:


Backup all links (or shortcuts) pinned to Quick Access - not their content…

Right there where you are looking at them is where the shortcuts are. There is no specific location where shortcuts are stored. They are stored where they are created.
