Quick Access is a feature in operating systems and applications that provides a central place for frequently used files, folders, and commands to improve productivity. In Windows, it's a section in File Explorer that shows recently accessed files and pinned folders, replacing the "Favorites" feature from older systems. In applications like Microsoft Office, the "Quick Access Toolbar" allows you to add frequently used commands to a customizable toolbar at the top of the window.
