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.

I always think I have accidently clicked on something that causes these unwanted changes to occur - glad to know it wasn't me! Agree with the other posters on this being very annoying with no way to turn off.
Erin Hawley1's workaround is the best so far.
Microsoft...Any workaround /solution??? Please
This is an unwelcome change.
I hope that Microsoft does something about it. This silly new Quick Access offers me to save in Corporate locations that I can't even save in because I don't have access. What use is that?
Thankfully whomever recommended the work around by adding the 'save as' to the top of the page is awesome. That worked for me.
I agree, this useless change appeared on my desktop today. Like all of you, I have been trying to get rid of it.
