remove system folder in 'My Computer'

#1 Post by username1114 » 25.08.2012, 07:14

When I open 'My Computer' it doesn't just displays the disks..like what the Windows Explorer does..
there is another item on top that doesn't have a name...an icon...in another column, it says that it
is a system folder..can it be removed?I want to...
I've already tried disabling 'show parent folder ".." ', thinking that it is also a parent folder
since if you double click it, it will go up(?)..but it is still there...

The top line in the view opened from the My Computer button is labeled System Folder. Although it functions rather like the optional Go-to-Parent line at the top of file lists and has the same ".." name, it is not controlled by the option in Settings > View > Filer/Folder List > General page > [x] Show Parent Folder ".."

"System Folder" appears to be a generic label, because that is also what my empty DVD drive is labeled in the same view. And what it contains apparently doesn't match anything I get in Win7; it is a strange combination of my Desktop contents + a few of my User folders + a few system-wide folders. So I must say it's a bit of a mystery to me.

Can you describe why you would like this line removed? Is it a problem in some way? I don't use it myself, but it's easy to ignore.
