    How to remove one or more default libraries


    Is it possible to remove a default library? For example I don't want the Videos library at all, I'd like to remove it from the system. Deleting the related folder does not make it's icon disappear from the navigation panel.

    EDIT: I mean it can be removed from the Libraries group but it stays listed under "This PC".

    :)

    Scanning Windows libraries halts with error code: 8300300B

    Restoring libraries from Explorer\RClick Libraries - Restore Default Libraries did not work

    Going in via Media Player and Removing all but one folder from each library worked.

    After some additioanl experimentation it appears that only the Music & Video Libraries are throwing this error when there is more than the one, default, library included.

    How to Exclude One or More Contacts from Voice Command

    No this is not possible, But the other way around it could be to open the contact you frequently call and add a voice tag to their name. Which could be anything for anybody like "sweetheart" calls your sweethaert



    Or define the number you call in the voice command you give

    Call "name" home or mobile or work

    I did delete the library but it's icon under "This PC" remained. Clicking on that displayed a "device is disconnected or unavailable" sort of error message.
    I don't see that "Don't show in the navigation pane" option anywhere, only stuff like "pin to start" or "pin to Quick Access".

    I can't find that option, no matter if the library is functioning or not. The context menus look quite different than in win 7:

    How to remove one or more default libraries

    How about when you right click on the library in the main Libraries window instead?

    Same as the first context menu.
