Stop USB drives to show two times in explorer pane?

Hello, i can't find a tutorial for this : How do i stop 10 from adding any USB removable drives (a second time, since they're always show in MyPC which i have expended)? Hope it's possible.. Thanks!

Hello unko,

Here you go: Drives in Navigation Pane - Add or Remove in Windows 10

Not sure why you're pointing at this? I clearly mentionned "two times" so if you didn't notice, when you have a removable usb drive plugged in, an entry for it appear below the "this pc" ones..

Do you mean like this?



This is the same screen after running the registry update in @Brink's tutorial in post #2 and the repeated USB drive has gone and is only shown once under "This PC"



If you mean something else perhaps you could upload a picture to explain.

I think the OP meant this.......... F drive shows up twice.

This is exactly what Brink's reg file does:

That's why I pointed to the tutorial. Use the option to disable drives showing in the navigation pane, and only the separate duplicate group for drives will no longer show in your navigation pane. It will only show once under "This PC".
