When I plug a USB into my front USB ports, I always get a dual copy in windows explorer.
It doesn't matter if it is a USB flash drive or my external Hard Drive Dock.
Can anybody shed some light on what the possible reason could be, or if there is a fix?

An example is USB Drive (F:) in the capture below.

In this instance it doesn't matter the version of Windows, so that's a non issue.

Agree people should fill out system specs though, but here it doesn't matter.
