Flash drive is listed twice

Featured Replies

Running Windows 10 for a while, but now when I insert a 64 Gig flashdrive, I see it listed twice in File Explorer. I see this:

ADATA UFD  (L:), then I see the five folders that are on this flashdrive, Documents, Downloads, Favorites, Music, and Pictures. Then there is a space, and  then  I see the exact same listing. I know the 5 folders take up over 43 Gig of space, so the folders can't be on the flash drive twice, since the flash drive is only 64 gig. suggestions please.  Mike

Update.....I tried another flash drive, and that flash drive is also listed twice in File Explorer. I then tried those two flash drives in another computer also running Windows 10. Same result.  I then tried those two flash drives in the wife's computer running windows 8.1  The two flash drives only showed up once as they should. what is the problem with Windows 10 showing the droves twice ? Thanks, Mike

Just bad engineering....

It's normal on Windows 10 because removable drivers are listed in This PC and directly in the navigation pane. To change this, open regedit, go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace and remove the DelegateFolders key in it, your drivers will normlay listed once ;)
If you use a 64 bits system, do also the same thing in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace

MTDirector...Thanks for the reply. I followed your instructions. When I came to Namespace, there were about 25 numeric and alpha items after it. At the botto of those 25 items I did see "DELEGATEFOLDERS", so I deleted it. I did not see any option to Save or anything, so I rebooted the computer. No change, I still see the flash drive listed twice. Any suggestions on what I did wrong ?

Can you provide a screenshot of your explorer window with flash drives listed twice ?

I have a screen shot saved as a Word document on my desktop, but do not know how to attach it here.

This was mine. Since the Ironkey is a secure drive it also lists the other 'drive H' after you unlock it. Delete them keys and all is fine.
