Windows 10: Windows File Explorer In Windows 10 is Too

HI allFinally had to switch over to Windows 10 from 7 Pro and one thing that is driving me BONKERS is the bloated view in Windows Explorer, aka File Explorer, etc.There are way too many locations displayed, most of which are really duplicates with different icons, names, etc. It becomes confusing, especially when backing up files, saving files to a certain location every time, updating a file, etc. But I can't find ANY way to hide certain locations from Explorer. 3D objects, OneDrive, Network, Libraries, my external drive appearing twice... I want to streamline Explorer so I don't have to

Windows 10 Tweaks

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

Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?




Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
