Windows 10: Annoying Internet Explorer file...

(I don't use Internet Explorer, I've always had it 'disabled' in the 'Add/remove Windows Components' section...)

Recently, I've noticed a file (see attached screenshot) that constantly keeps reappearing/regenerating itself even after cleaning (I use CCleaner).

I just wondered if there was a setting I could use to prevent it from occurring? I think this has only started happening since the CU update.

:)

 

File Explorer has gone crazy after last nights upgrade.

My only has icons instead of full descriptions. I can not get back to a point where I have tabs that actually say something. Please tell me how to get my view repaired? help... Help.... HELP!!!

 

File Explorer Annoying Directories

Thank you Stephanie for your help



I received my Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5-1570 from MS Store last Monday and have done no changes so far, just familiarizing myself with my new PC.



Using different USB drives the result is the same as you can see from the attached 2 pictures. One of my friends also has a Dell Inspiron laptop with Windows 10 Home and she also has the same problem. (The Recovery (D USB shown in one picture has
nothing to do with Recovery, its just the name of this USB).



I have installed some third-party apps but the problem was there before.



I’m very familiar doing changes in the registry so if there is a solution to fix this problem thru the registry I have no problem to do so

Disable 'Suggested Sites' in Internet Options.

 

Edwin...that option wasn't displayed in 'Internet Options', so I reinstalled IE and when I rechecked the option was already deselected.

However, the file still kept recreating itself, so then I checked the option, deactivated IE again, restarted my machine and the file has now disappeared!

Go figure!
