In Excel, how do I remove the Quick Access pane in the File Save interface?

The quick access pane is providing links that I do not have write access to and never save to, and I need the 'Browse' folder option at the bottom, which I now have to use the scroll bar in order to select. This is adding extra steps and reducing efficiency, so I would like to remove the Quick Access pane.

    There's no way my company would allow me to have admin rights to modify my computer. Thanks anyway.

    I already had the save as option. The problem I have is using the "Open" screen. I don't want to have to scroll down 3-4 times just to get to the "Browse" option.

    Extremely annoying this!! Microsoft please fix this issue!

    I have never before posted a complaint like this, but this feature is so not efficient that I felt forced to post this.
