    Hard drives showing up twice in the navigation pane.


    I have 7 drives in my desktop Windows 11 computer. All the drives show up in the Navigation Pane under "This PC" Two of my hard drives show up listed twice on the Navigation Pane. Once under "This PC" and once at the same level as "This PC". They are actually outside "This PC". I can access the files on those two hard drives by clicking either listing. It's like the two listed outside of "This PC" are shortcuts. I have tried to get rid of these two extra listings, but I haven't been able to. Anybody got any ideas?

    :)

    Show fixed drives in navigation pane

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern, I will be glad to assist you with this.

    In order for the drives to appear in the navigation pane, I would suggest you to pin the drives in quick access. This way, every time you open file explorer, you will be able to easily access and see the drives on the navigation pane. To do so, follow the
    steps below:

    1. Press Windows key + E to open file explorer.

    2. Click This PC on the left pane.

    3. Left click on a drive and drag it under the quick access pane and release the mouse once you see the "pin to quick access" popup

    4. Repeat the steps for the remaining drives.

    Hope this helps.

    Let us know if you need further assistance, we will be glad to help.
