Windows 10: Win11 Tabbed Explorer - Duplicate Links from 'Home'

I am running a fresh install of Windows 11 in a VBox VM and I just installed the new update that enables Tabs in File Explorer for Win11, but I am having some issues with it. I had the same issues with a full metal install, but I ended up disabling 'Home' and Quick Access, to keep my sanity.First off, I see a 'Pin to Quick access' link in the context menu, but Quick Access appears to have been replaced by 'Home'?Secondly, when I click on a pinned link in the 'Home' folder, I end up with duplicate links. See the images below.Here are the results of clicking on each of the pinned 'Home' links:Th

Duplicate drive listed in explorer.

I had read some good tutorials on how to remove unwanted items from the side explorer navigation pane and was interested if someone knows how to remove a duplicate of a drive showing up?

Here is what I am dealing with:





The duplicate listing of Drive F: which is a USB Flash drive is not necessary and I would like to remove one of them.

Any ideas?

EDIT:

I think I found it here: Add or Remove Duplicate Drives in Navigation Pane in Windows 10

I'll give it a go and find out.

It appears that the drives listed under "This PC" are not considered duplicate listings and the reg file does not have any effect on those listings.

So imperially or practically, I guess I don't really have a duplicate listing of the drive unless the branch of "This PC" is expanded.

 

Windows Explorer Issue-Duplicate D:\ after relocating files

Thank you both for the assistance! For Keith: I created 2 new folders on the D:\ drive as you instructed: Documents and Videos, then I moved the associated files/folders as you instructed into the new folders. I've attached a screenshot of what the directory in Explorer now looks like (note the duplicate D:\ drives under 'This PC'.



For the next step, I want to be sure that I make the correct changes in the registry (and I certainly don't want to make anything worse!). When I open the registry as you instructed, I see under Personal the current Value is D:\. Under My Video it is C:\Users\'my user initials'\Video. Are you suggesting that I rename Personal to D:\Documents, then change the value to the new 'string' that you suggested and rename My Video to D:\Videos, also inserting the new 'string' that you suggested?

Again, many, many thanks for your assistance!
