  1. File Explorer listing 3 of my drives twice each.


    I don't know how it happened but 3 of my drives show up twice in file explorer. I have 8 drives in my desktop. and 3 drives have exact duplicates listed in File Explorer. Same drive letters. Same drive names. Same folders and files. The extra duplicates don't show up in Disk Management. Clicking on them offers no way of deleting them. How do I get rid of these extra listing?

    :)

  2. 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!

    USB Listed twice in Windows 10 Explorer

    One of my USB drives is listed twice in Windows Explorer, although it displays correctly in My PC. It is not pinned to "Quick Access" and Explorer is set to open "This PC" through View/Folder/Options. Why is this one USB drive (storage) listed twice and
    are there any concerns with this?

    Thank you,

    File Explorer listing 3 of my drives twice each.

    File Explorer- no drive letters are listed.

    Original Title: File Explorer

    I am trying to open File Explorer with my drives listed on the right. I only have the files in the first column and no drive letters are listed.
