steam, files,

i had trouble finding the steam file for a mod i was downloading and so when i found the file i went to pin it to my quick access to make it easier to find for the next time and when i got done i went to click on the Steam app and it said the file was moved and that i could no longer access it or something like that so i had to re-download steam and i'm having to re install my games, not sure where i went wrong but i could use some advice

Pin?

I've seen folk move when they wanted to create a shortcut.

Tell me how you make a pin.

I clicked on the steam file folder and dragged it over to the quick access section and it pinned it to it (i guess that's the right terminology), if there's a more efficient or better way to do that i'm all ears.

To be sure you don't move a folder.

by r. proffitt Forum moderator Jan 19, 2017 6:13PM PST

You have to hold down both Shift and Control as you drag as well as hold these when you release.

Otherwise it might move the folder.

file deletion

by _Spitfire Jan 19, 2017 6:20PM PST

In my error of moving the file it somehow deleted the Steam file or something when i tried moving it in the first place, i had to re-download Steam along with re-installing my games. Im not sure how it did this or if it did it in my mistake.

With Steam it's not a fatal error.

With other things you would not be as lucky.

Note: Corrected autocorrect spelling error with Moderator edit.
