You had me until you wanted to remove the quick access all together!
There will be many posts coming out with ways to customize and tweak your new windows 10 and the one (below) is pretty good. Although they then go in to how to remove the quick access all together. You see, this is where I really have problems with those that will never accept change. It is one thing to move forward and have the ability to customize things and go to the 'classic view' within any program however to completely remove something, especially when it is brand new and you have never really even experimented with it, is just crazy! The simple fact is the easy access is nothing more than your favorites area and is truly better than that because you can place anything there or nothing at all and it is not taking up any screen space. My opinion is to read embrace the many tweaks and technical tips you will find while reading the many news articles and blogs but don't necessarily react to them without doing your own trials first.
