    Hi,

    So I followed this tutorial:

    https://www.howtogeek.com/222057/how-to-remove-the-folders-from-“this-pc”-on-windows-10/

    It eliminated the user folders (Videos, Documents, Music, etc., the "Library folders") from this PC, leaving only the drives, but there is another problem.

    Every time I select a user library under Quick Access, it immediately appears under "This PC", and instead of expanding on the left hand side under "Quick Access", it expands under "This PC".

    This is what I mean:

    How do I permanently stop user folders from appearing under "This PC"?

    • In File Explorer, select or open a library (ex: Videos) you want to include a folder or drive to.
    • Click on the Library Tools Manage tab, and click on the Manage library button in the ribbon.
    • Click on the Add button
