  1. Duplicate drive listed in explorer.


    I had read some good tutorials on how to remove unwanted items from the side explorer pane and was interested if someone knows how to remove a duplicate of a drive showing up?

    Here is what I am dealing with:

    The duplicate listing of Drive F: which is a USB Flash drive is not necessary and I would like to remove one of them.

    Any ideas?

    EDIT:

    I think I found it here: Add or Remove Duplicate Drives in Navigation Pane in Windows 10

    I'll give it a go and find out.

    :)

    duplicate usb drive

    When you say Navigation panel where are you?

    If ti is File Explorer, there is a lot of duplication in the list of drives.

    Duplicate Drive Entries in Explorer


    Here is a screen shot of the left hand panel of File Explorer. Note it shows two entries for My Passport 1TB (XDuplicate drive listed in explorer. :). That is, of course, my external USB drive. When I open either one of them the same file and folder list appears Why does that drive it show up twice? And, can I deleted one of them?

    Thank you.

  4. Duplicate drive listed in explorer.

    File Explorer- no drive letters are listed.

    The File Explorer in Windows 10, shows the Frequent folders list and Recent files list by default. You can view the drives by clicking on This PC tab on the left site of the File Explorer. But if you wish the File Explorer
    to open This PC showing drives list by default, then follow these steps:

    1. In Windows 10, open a new File Explorer window and click the View tab from the ribbon toolbar.

    2. In the View tab, find and click on Options, listed by default on the far right side of the ribbon.

    3. In the Folder Options window, make sure you’re on the General tab and then find the drop-down box labeled Open File Explorer To. Click the drop-down menu and select This PC. Click OK to
    save your changes and close the window. Now your File Explorer opens to Drives list by default.

    Hope this helps!
