    Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10


    Hello nxrighthere, and welcome to Ten Forums.

    Adding the affected folder back in This PC will also restore them for the Start menu. I'll do some more testing to see if I may be able to prevent that from being a side effect.

    Ok. Tutorial has been updated to where they will now remove the folders from This PC without affecting the same added folders on Start. *Smile

    It could be me but every download link simply redirects to the forum index, could you check it out?

    Hey Brink, thanks for the hack *Smile

    It's a bit glitchy on my system, In the navigation pane I like to just have my drives show under 'This PC' and have 'Downloads' under quick access, like in Windows 7.

    Using this .reg files, when I initially open Explorer it works great and only shows my drives under 'This PC', but then when I open 'Downloads' under quick access, it then 'creates' the folder under This PC. If I then close explorer, reopen and click on This PC, for some reason it shows both the Downloads and Desktop folders for some strange reason.

    After a while they both disappear and it works as should, any ideas?

    Thanks again.

    Regards.

    When I click Downloads from quick access, then open a folder named 'Chrome Downloads' -

    For some strange reason those two folders show, but they do disappear after a while...

    Odd. It does appears to be a glitch, but I'm not sure why it's doing it.
