I have a laptop which is running Windows 8.1 64bit. When opening Windows Explorer and enabling the option to show the libraries under the section "My PC", The screen looks like this:

enter image description here

Translation: Deze pc = my pc, Bibliotheken = libraries

On the most upper section of the Windows Explorer, you see all my libraries, such as my pictures, desktop items, documents, downloads, music and video's.

In the section from the libraries, you see those same folders again, my pictures, documents, music and video's.

Is it possible to delete those items from the "My PC" view? Because theyre showing double now.

  • If you already have antivirus then its very simple to update antivirus to latest version. If not just install antivirus and update to latest version. Do full scan after updated.

  • @vembutech Yes, i've got a virus scanner on my computer, why should I scan my computer when there's nothing wrong with it?...

  • keep one backup on all the files inside libraries such as my pictures, documents, music and video's etc., on any free volumes. Restore the libraries by simple right click on libraries -> click 'Restore Default libraries' .

You could remove it easily by modifying registry

1)Open notepad

2)Copy the following script and save it as sample.reg

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}]
"DescriptionID"=-

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}]
"DescriptionID"=-

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{031e4825-7b94-4dc3-b131-e946b44c8dd5}]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{031e4825-7b94-4dc3-b131-e946b44c8dd5}]

3)Execute the registry file

  • It might seem stupid, but where do I see the list of items then? When I open the following location which is in your answer in my registry, all i see is numbers.

  • @bas for safe stuff you could save it as reg file and execute it,since its internal stuff,altering the number was little tedious task
