To start, you’ll need to have some saved searches. If you haven’t saved any searches, it’s pretty simple to get started. Simply search for anything in File Explorer, and click the Save Search icon in the ribbon. If you aren’t seeing the ribbon, click the carrot on the right side to reveal it.

  1. Open the File Explorer by right-clicking the Start Menu and selecting it.
  2. Navigate to your Users folder.
  3. Click the appropriate User folder.
  4. Select Searches.
  5. Right click the appropriate saved search and select Pin to Start.
