  1. Windows File Explorer Duplicates Drives


    In my PC tower I have two 1.0TB solid state drives (C and E). Connected externally I have two 2.0TB and one 3.0TB portable disc drives (G, H and I) and also a 16GB memory stick used as a ReadyBoost (drive F). In my Windows File Explorer Drives C and E show normally (i.e. once only). Drives F, G, H and I are duplicated below the other drives - they are exactly the same. How can I get rid of these duplicates?


    Thank you very much.

    :)

    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

  3. File Explorer for Windows 10 shows Duplicate External Drive Folders/Files

    Windows has recreated the key. I've just found another way to hide the duplicate removable drives. You can download the REG file here.

    Drives Listed Twice in Explorer Navigation Pane (Fix) » Winhelponline

    [Solved] Drives appear twice in Windows 10 File Explorer navigation pane

    You need to logoff and login back for the changes the take effect.

    (There is also a UNDO file if you want to revert back the setting.)
