    Removing something from This PC list


    Hi there, I'm in a bit of an odd and annoying situation.


    Using Windows 10 Pro


    I was trying to change the location of My Videos, just as I did with My Music, which by the way worked fine. I just changed the properties to make the My Music library on my secondary drive. When I tried to do it with My Videos I accidentally selected my whole secondary drive.

    I managed to still do what I wanted to do, by creating a new library for videos instead, but now I'm left with a second link in the This PC list to my secondary drive, shown in the picture here.

    Any time I try to remove this link, by selecting properties, it just opens up the drive properties, as it would if you selected properties of any other drive. So I can't even change this link back to My Videos.


    Sorry if this question is a bit long winded, not sure how to word this Removing something from This PC list :)


    Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    :)

  2. PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
      Code:
      net user test /del
