Is it normal in Windows 10 [Home] to see additional drives replicated?

Is this normal , i.e. To see the 2nd and 3rd Drive duplicated, in Windows 10?

Maybe the guys at Tom's Hardware forum can help you better.

1. Press WIN+R to open the RUN dialog box, type regedit and press enter, it'll open the registry editor.

2. Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOF​TWARE\Microsoft\Window​s\CurrentVersion\Explo​rer\Desktop\NameSpace\​DelegateFolders

3. Under "DelegateFolders" key, you'll find {F5FB2C77-0E2F-4A16-A381-3E560C68BC83}

4. delete the {F5FB2C77-0E2F-4A16-A381-3E560C68BC83} key and it'll immediately remove the duplicate drive icons from the "This PC" Pane.

Thanks so much
But is it working properly i.e. should show this as on my screen in standard Windows 10?

I assume this is editing the windows registry?

When you say "delete the {F5FB2C77-0E2F-4A16-A381-3E560C68BC83} key"

Do I just highlight >>> {F5FB2C77-0E2F-4A16-A381-3E560C68BC83} <<< and press delete?

Sorry for asking the obvious, but editing the registry makes me well nervous.

I assume if a later release or Windows update relied on / needed this key, if I reloaded windows it all comes back, i.e. it doesn't mess with the Bios or anything.

Well known issue...see http://www.askvg.com …dows-10-explorer-this-pc/.

Sounds like you don't know much about the registry so you might start by going to File > Export and do a full backup of the registry. To delete a registry key, highlight and then right click and "Delete" will be one of your options. BUT, note first that "Export" is also an available option. I would do that first, save the file somewhere readily accessible, and then do the delete action. This backs up just the key you are interested in deleting. Then if you get strange behavior you can just click the file you exported (it will end in "reg") and it will be imported back into the registry.

By the way, the registry editor doesn't have a File > Save type of operation. When you select File > Exit it is automatically saved.
