Duplicated Hard drives in Windows Explorer - Windows 10 *Fix*
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 дек 2015
- Since the November update, the 'This PC' section of Windows explorer has duplicated the Hard Drives in the side bar.
this simple fix takes about 5 mins to do and will simply supress Windows from showing them twice - The main thing I hated was the fact it orders the drives by drive name and not letter!
Full details are in the video with the Reg keys to rename displayed at the end incase I went too fast.
I hope this helps you as much as it helped me.
I am in Australia. Great it worked, thank you so much. I am in my 60s and I am not very computer savvy of what I am doing in this type of thing, but your explanation was so clear, you took me through every step of the way and it worked!!!!! You saved me ringing my computer guy. Just great. Thanks again.
Its rare I ever comment on RUclips. Your video solution cured a problem that has plagued me in Windows ME RAID System, XP, 7, and Vista Pro. It was like digital fungus that attached to my Portable Backup HDD and now its GONE. Gee now I have to find a new bug to gripe about. THANK YOU for the post.
Thanks mate, hope you're still doing well. Can't believe its been 5 years and Microsoft still haven't fixed this problem yet.
I had had this problem with windows 11 ever since I had my current PC and oh boy am I glad that I found your video. Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely grand, many thanks. I hated seeing the duplicates drive letters. This process works great, eliminates the dup's. I have the 64 bit windows 10, and renamed both files (.old) and I am a happy camper. I didn't mess too much with the rename, but, I would think precaution on the file rename, while highlighted, move cursor right at the end and click, to remove the highlight, then type your name change(in my case I used ( .old ).
On windows 10 build 14393 (1607) and it fixed the issue for me, I didn't even need to do the WOW6432Node part, just the first bit did it for me. Many thanks! EDIT: They came back after updating, done this again and they're gone again, thanks AGAIN!
Mate, this has been bugging me since i bought a new computer.. this solves it perfectly, and works with Windows 11 as well, in case anyone has this issue with that OS. Having duplicate drives on the left pane was causing no end of issues (caused by me not realising which drive was which) and sticking stuff on the wrong drive. Job sorted!
I'N IN LONDON.THANKS I'VE USED THIS TWICE THIS YEAR [2021] AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR BEING ABLE TO STORE IT AND RE-USE IT THANKS AGAIN
Thank you so much, this has been pissing me off for a couple of years
LITERALLY THE ONLY VIDEOOO THAT HELPED THANK YOUUU
magic, worked as soon as it was named old, even had explorer in the background, the duplicates vanished. thanks :)
Microsoft STILL never fixed this annoying issue. Thanx mate🙂👍🏼👍🏼
Lucky me! The first link I tried in my search for a solution led me to your video with the correct procedure. Thank you very much, great job!!
This video deserves, like, one-meeeeelion likes.
Much to my surprise, this works in Windows 11 too, not sure why this even happened. A good video :)
You are absolutely Brilliant, thank you for making this video. Windows did this to me on a recent update and now its fixed.
Thank you so much, mate. This worked for me in 2021! I appreciate that you said do NOT delete the reg key - good advice. Subscribed.
Great little video with a spot-on remedy for an annoying Windows 10 issue.
From Singapore , it worked , many many thanks!
your fix beat endless searing on MS troubleshoot site + provided a resolution to the problem = many thanks!
No Problem, glad it helped. I also found it impossible to figure out the solution until I stumbled upon it on a random forum a few years back :)
so i accidently made a folder exaclty like my D hard drive, and if i delete that file it deletes the stuff from the D drive aswell, so i have 2 D hard drives now, how can i fix it?
is this video how i fix it? or ill just make it worse?
Bravo- you solved a worry for me after a tech I hired really messed up my computer. I was able to follow your directions by starting and stopping your presentation- you were moving a little fast for me but by stopping and writing notes I got it . Thank you please post more videos -yes you did help! Richard Cosby
I tried this and it worked. Great video and easy to follow.Thx for sharing.
Briulliant . Worked for me. Thank you. The issue nigled me for ages. Not any more
Thanks! Worked perfectly for Windows 11 (64-bit)
Perfect! Worked excellent. Thanks for talking in the video instead of typing and playing music.
Still Work In 2023 Thanks You So Much
M'Lord Turnip, you are indeed a star! A big thank you. May your vegetableness increase.
Thank you so much been trying to find fix for this!
Thanks a lot. I had virtual drives and this fixed them so i can now know which drive is real.
Man.... You literally save my job with this. Thank you so much.
I had such high hopes! Great tutorial, very easy to do and simple to understand, but for me it didn't work. I got as far as changing the Delegated Folder but the system won't allow me to either change the name or delete it. I logged in as an administrator but that didn't help. :(
I'm replying to myself because I found the problem was I didn't have permissions to change the "DelegateFolders" folder. So right-click on that to change the permissions before you open up that folder and all is well!
Thank you , it solved my problem . My video editing software was using the duplicate and was not able to read the videos. Now it works! Awesome
Absolutely brilliant!! This has been bugging me for a long time. Thank god for you.
Superb my friend. It's been doing my head in.
Excellent tutorial! This has been bugging me since I upgraded to Windows 10 earlier this year. Thanks so much :)
Absolutely MAD! Tremendous amount of thanks ol' chap! Jolly good show! (on a more serious note, I thought this was a mega scam I am so glad you were a gentleman and a scholar!) uhh..... e-
I've been using Windows 10 for just over two weeks now and have spent most of my time fixing annoying crap like this. Thanks for the tip. n.b. you have to be logged in with Admin privileges to edit the registry.
Thanks! It Worked .
It works....thank you so much friend.
Works wonderfully. Thank you very much mate!
Thank you very much...It worked like a champ...It has been buggin' me for some time now...Very nice short and sweet video! Many thanks!
This definitely works! Thx a lot, mate. 😉😉
Turniplord,
Thank you very much for your advice on duplicate drives on Windows 10. I am keeping this link for future use.
Awesome! Thank you! I just upgraded to 10 and it was driving me nuts.
what an absolute boss THANK YOU
Worked like a charm! Thank you!
I realize this is an old post, but hoping you can help in 2024. Followed you instructions until I came to Delegate folders. I click on it and nothing opens up. Theere is no sub file. If I right click and expand, nothing happens as well. Any thoughts would be appreciated with thanks.
Worked great but I have one question -- why did Explorer do the echo, in the first place? Did I miss that in your video?
Sick and tired already of a dozen videos with the same fix did that but the problem remains.
2020 and still working, really appreciate it!
Thank you! running three solid states when recently I started seeing double this helped out!
I just went down the registry tree and put in '.old' and rebooted and I still have the extra drives listed.
I'm running Windows 10 Pro.
Any suggestions?
Ingenious! Thanks so very much! (Running Win11).
Worked Like a Charm THANKS!!!!!!!!
This was a huge help thank you.
I accidentally made a copy of my L: drive, it is an external drive. So I have two L: drives. How can I delete one of them? Maybe a video for that? Thanks for any help.
Thanks. It worked. I had always 2 usb drives. Solved
Great video it helped me out a lot. the only thing is just slow down a bit and be a bit more clear on the command keys at the start other than that perfect. thanks buddy
Worked great, what I dont understand is that I installed a brand new up to date ver. of Win 10 and it had this problem.
This problem was supposed to be fixed with an update from last November.
Great directions! Worked smoothly just as you did it. Thank you very much!
Just find your video as am facing the same problem. Have done the step word for word but qm still seing 2 time E:drive.... any idea... am using Windows 10 home, x64-base
It works! thanks for the awsome video.
All of a sudden when I turn my computer on it goes through a repair disk and then repair disk L for about an hour then finally boots up and I noticed that there are two ghosts hard drives disk M and disc L under my computer now I know that my multi card reader will sometimes assign those particular letters but there's absolutely nothing inserted in it so I tried you a fix going to the hotkeys to the letter! it did not work! 😰
Works very well! Thank you!
Thank you so much. This made my day.
Hi after extending the disk I have lost the data what to do now 😢 4:16
Just had to say as many have, THANK YOU!!! And this shit has been bugging the SHIT out of me also!! Many, many Thanks!!
Thanks! I'm a little paranoid when something unusual is going on with my computer.
Thanks man, that trouble was gone in 60 seconds :)
This is a sanity saver. Thank you so much.
Please provide this path in description as well.
Great! Works fine - thanks very much.
Worked perfectly. Thank you!
my windows 10 desktop says 64bit but its the first command that works, since this video is 2015 maybe the fall creators update changed it around, anyway it worked perfect first try so you got a sub.
2020 and still microsoft think this multiple drive garbage is what we all crave. Why, microsoft, why?
Thank you very much. This was bugging me for a very long time
brilliant easy to follow and it works
Please help. I am making a video of pictures of my baby and I from when I was pregnant till she turned 12 months. I created a video folder in each month folder (1 month old etc) where I took the best photos of her and I for each month for the video. I finally completed last night. Now all photos are missing. The video folder is empty. I followed your instructions and it removed the duplicate usb file (thank you) please tell me how to retrieve these photos. They are priceless to me, and now they are just gone 😔.
Thanks. Things like this make me hate win10. I´ve just left win7. I miss win7
Thanks! It did exactly what I wanted!
Thanks works a treat.
I never could get this to work I was deleting the wow6432 node and it wouldn't work. I saw your video and realized I also had to delete the other entry as well thanks.
Really helpful video, was wondering what the hell was going on with my external drive. Like and a sub for ya time!
It worked. Thank You Brooo
thanks mate , it help me a lot
Wow thanks very much indeed, that was wonderfully done and easy to follow.
Hello, first thank you for putting this up here :) I'm not sure though if apply for what i have seen on my pc for a long time. Under This PC (10) and "My computer (W7) now obsolete for me. I keep seeing the drive's list almost ok if it was not starting with 4 Win7 (C:) and ending with 4 Win7 (X:) ? I can see this two HDD have the same description in format and size. However their content is quite different. "X:) does not display the same content. What am I missing? And Disk Management does display or comment on "X: drive ?
Hi,
Sounds like you may have a mapped drive? When you go into x:, is it basically a folder within c:? If so, you should be able to unmapped it by right clicking and picking the option to do so (I believe there’s an option on win10 to disconnect).
But, before you do so, make sure you know where it’s pointing to as you don’t want to misplace any files or folders you’ve got stored there.
@@Turniplord thanx for this. You're probably right as I do think it comes from the same drive...and it drives me a little nut too but I can cope with it and may not worry about fixing it. But it's nice to know there is a reason :)
Works great, thanks!
Thank you so much Asus Rog Ally ❤!
Excellent video
Thanks for your Help...works great so far
its worked perfectly
Yup, worked. You're the man!
It works!!! Thanks a lot!!!!
Excellent assistance...doesn't Microsoft know how to make an operating system by now? Windows XP and Windows 7 worked just fine.
You sir explained this very well. Thank you.
Why dontcha list the registry folders in the link below so we can copy and save the location of the registry tweaks in a document in case they need changed back in the future? The info at 4:05 in the video. But thanks.....I needed that my OCD couldn't handle it listed twice.
32/64bit:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\DelegateFolders64bit Only Step 2:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\DelegateFolders
{F5FB2C77-0E2F-4A16-A381-3E560C68BC83}
DID NOT WORK FOR ME, followed instructions
Mine is a removable PSSD , showing twice
appreciate the help
