Pin to Quick Access and Start fails
Here is another baffling question !
I have a Favorites folder that I want to "Pin to Start" but it doesn't appear there when I click the option. I also tried to "Pin to Quick Access" and that too failed to deliver the shortcut. Why are both these options failing to deliver?

In my experience clicking "Pin to start" pins the folder that is clicked on to my start menu as a Tile. That fails to happen when I click my Favorites folder. Is there something unique about that folder that makes the option, listed as an option on the context menu, fail to do what is expected?
I have very little experience with the Quick access menu but when I clicked "Pin to Quick access" I expected it to appear on the list of options on the Quick access pop up.
Here's my screen shot.

I have no idea, why pinning it to start does not work (here, it does), but why not simply use a new toolbar on your taskbar for it?
->Right click the taskbar, select toolbar - new toolbar. Navigate to c:\users\mike\favorites and click on "select folder" - done. Now it will be on your taskbar.

I'll be damned! It does work in Explorer and now Favorites is on my start menu! Thanks!
McKnife, that was a good idea, I did it and now will have a place for other shortcuts, thanks

I thought x2 was infallible!
Thank you for following up.
Favourites are already in Quick Access so extra pinning does not do anything.
Look carefully - all works.
