Windows 10: Unable to remove duplicate drives in the navigation pane

Hi how are you, I am unable to remove the duplicate drivers in the navigation pane. I have removed the key F5FB2C77-0E2F-4A16-A381-3E560C68BC83 from the regedit and also unchecked the show al folders and show library issue under the Navigation Pane. Still no luck.

:)

I just upgraded from 10.0.10240 to 10.0.10586 and the double drive problem shows up again. I looked in the registry and the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\DelegateFol ders\{F5FB2C77-0E2F-4A16-A381-3E560C68BC83}" is still there with a value of "Removable Drives".

Here is a picture of "{F5FB2C77-0E2F-4A16-A381-3E560C68BC83}":





HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F5FB2C77-0E2F-4A16-A381-3E560C68BC83}\InProcServer32



HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F5FB2C77-0E2F-4A16-A381-3E560C68BC83}\Instance



HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F5FB2C77-0E2F-4A16-A381-3E560C68BC83}\Instance\InitPropertyBag




HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F5FB2C77-0E2F-4A16-A381-3E560C68BC83}\ShellFolder



Are we back to square 1? Please tell me I did something wrong cause I hate seeing those doubled up removable drives. lol

If you execute the reg file it will remove all drives in the navigation pane correct? Is there a reg file that will only remove the duplicate drives and my last question Shawn, is why are there duplicate drives in the first place?
