    Remove Desktop and Other Folders From File Explorer?


    Remove Desktop and Other Folders From File Explorer?-t2obayi.png

    I was wondering/can't figure out if I can hide the desktop library and other things from the file explorer. Is it possible? Thanks!

    Hello Karspankey, and welcome to Ten Forums. :)

    It looks like you have Show all folders turned on for the navigation pane. Turning it off should sort this for you.

    Thanks for the welcome and help! I figured it'd be that easy, but I guess I right clicked everywhere but the empty space!
