An annoying thing; I open my explorer and see my drives (included the removeable ones) but the removable ones are also duplicated at the bottom. Difference is "_> Icon" and "> Icon". Well there is an easy fix for it: (You can hide and unhide them if you want)
Made a short tutorial for this. Maybe other people want to do this also....
- Start Registry Editor. (RegEdit.exe)
- Search for key; Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\DelegateFolders\{F5FB2C77-0E2F-4A16-A381-3E560C68BC83}
- Rename key into; Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\DelegateFolders\{F5FB2C77-0E2F-4A16-A381-3E560C68BC83}.old
or....
- Make 2 reg files;
- Hide_Double_Drives_Explorer.reg
- Unhide_Double_Drives_Explorer.reg
Doubleclick onto the .reg files to;
- Hide : Hide_Double_Drives_Explorer.reg
- Unhide : Unhide_Double_Drives_Explorer.reg
