NoelC Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 there are more but ugh... Sounds like you really need to try Classic Shell. -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelC Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Classic Shell solves some of the problems. Another thing that solves a lot of Explorer glitches is to just not use Libraries AT ALL. The Libraries abstraction changes the timing and there are some very short timeouts buried in Explorer that cause problems such as failing to update the display after a file is changed or deleted. Use only real disk folders, and back it with high performance hardware, and those problems disappear. -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinifera Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 ah yes the shit a** librariesyou can't even remove them, and if you hide themthe tree view folder will still show them piece of shit microsoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I personally see no problem with hiding them and never having them show. Thanks for reminding me... I need to apply the settings to hide "Quick Access" and "OneDrive" as well. I haven't done that yet on this install. Right now I'm running Win 10 build 10074 with UAC fully disabled. Everything I want to use seems to work. And as an added bonus a number of extraneous things like "searchui.exe" (i.e., the ridiculous Cortana) just don't start. Better and better. There are still a few things starting, such as WSHost.exe ("Store Broker") and ApplicationFrameHost.exe, that I need to see if I can thwart. -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinifera Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) they show even if hidden when you expand User folder or click on itat least on winblows "7" and if you delete them OS goes FUBAR Edited May 5, 2015 by vinifera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Well, it makes some sense that the real folders on the disk would show in your %USERPROFILE% folder. They put some hidden junctions in there for compatibility with older software (e.g., that looks for the folder "My Documents" instead of "Documents"), but you don't normally see those. How hard are subfolders under your %USERPROFILE% folder to ignore? That seems very different to me than having to work around a bunch of useless stuff that always shows up in the root namespace of the Navigation pane. This is how I like it to show when it starts. Note that only This PC and Network are showing. I do understand your points - I also tend to use my own folders instead of those "prescribed" by Microsoft to try to make using Windows more "Unix-like". And I also fully understand that different things bother different people, who use Windows in different ways. -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I also fully understand that different things bother different people, who use Windows in different ways. I haven't cared for that "My Documents" thing since Windows 98. It's an unnecessary layer of abstraction that actually makes things harder on those occasions when you need to navigate to the actual directory for whatever reason. At the same time, I do like the abstraction represented by assigning letters to drives, as it simplifies matters considerably. That "sba3" and "hdb1" stuff in Linux directories drives me nuts, I never know what's what. Every time I use some Linux variant, I end up screaming at the monitor, "Just tell me where the d*mn C: drive is!!!!!" --JorgeA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Well, to make things quicker, if it's a place you go often you could put a shortcut on your desktop with the command line: C:\Windows\explorer.exe /expand,%USERPROFILE%\Documents Personally I've found just opening an Explorer window up to C:\ then navigating to my Users\NoelC folder as needed to be generally convenient enough, especially when I don't have to hunt around amongst a dozen root namespaces in the Navigation pane. -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
