lock the pinned folders in Quick Access

Hello,

I would like to lock the pinned folders in Quick Access in Windows 11 so they can only be clicked. Right now, if a pin is accidentally dragged, Windows sometimes creates a duplicate of the folder.

I still want to:

Open the folder normally

Copy or move files inside the folder

Pin or unpin folders intentionally

 

Could you advise if there is a way to prevent dragging or copying of pinned folders in Quick Access without affecting folder functionality?

 

Thank you.
