    Why does a folder appear under multiple different headings in Windows 10 file explorer?


    Why do certain folders appear numerous times in the file explorer navigation pane? For example:The Pictures folder located at C:\Users\myshortname\OneDrive is listed under:a OneDrive - Personalb My own name full name, andc Libraries\PicturesIs there a way to eliminate the duplication so that the navigation pane is less cluttered?

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
