    Seeing Double?


    I just noticed this when clicking on Windows Explorer icon on taskbar, I cant recall seeing it before

    2 sets of drives? (right clicking start button and selecting Explorer from there, reveals 1 set of drives, as it should be).

    Anyone get the same?

    I don't get 2 sets. I have seventeen partitions, so that's enough....:)

    I've seen it in many flavors, but mostly I just attribute it to the panes not updating correctly once I have more than 4 Explorer windows open. See my thread:

    Hi jfar,

    you'd just have to go back and enable hide the protected files in the Folder Options.

    Hi jfar,

    That is perfectly normal if in the View tab of Folder Options you have set the option to Show hidden files, folders, and drives and cleared the option Hide protected operating system files (Recommended). In your first example, Videos library, if you right click each of the desktop icons in turn and select Properties, you will see the location for one is C:\Users\User\Videos and the other is C:\Users\Public\Videos
