    If you are using Google's Chrome Browser, go to the Google Store, and install Chrome Remote Desktop on you PC. Also, go to Google Play on your Smart Phone, and install it there. Go to Chrome:\\apps in your PC browser, and follow setup instructions to access your computer from your Smart Phone. Don't forget to have a PIN for log on! Now, you can sign on to Chrome Remote Desktop on your Smart Phone, place it face up on your desk, and use it as a Touch Pad!

    @jasongenova if I understand you want get rid of Quick Access correct? if yes then exist another form to make this but remember making this actions is NOT my responsability ok you make if you want so first make backup or Image System BEFORE ok;then go to Regedit open HKCR\clsid \{679f85cb-0220-4080-b29b-5540cc05aab6} click on shell folder and right click on it in permissions\advanced\change owner\change\verify names\find administrator click ok close window return to Shell folder in right side look for Atributes and caution now click 2 times on it and change value of dword a100000 to a600000 and ok in sequence type ctrl+shift+esc to open Task Manager find Windows Explorer e click on RESTART close Task Manager, close Regedit and open This PC so Quick Access don't show more ;)

    I used Winaero Tweaker to add it. If I remove Quick Access from the Navigation Pane, it removes them both.
