    Multiple Duplicate Folders under This PC in File Explorer

    OK. Followed instructions best I could.

    1. I exited OneDrive by following Step 1 above. I right-clicked on I think Microsoft OneDrive and clicked on End Task. Good.

    2. I started to do Step 2 but as I was looking in System Tray I saw OneDrive icon disappear. I suspect that is because of what I did in Step 1. As a result I believe Step 2 is not necessary because the computer did it itself. I opened up File Explorer and
    confirmed I still had multiple Document folder on the left pane under "This PC".

    3. Now I need to copy the "Documents" folder. Which one? I have two?

    C:\Users\Grant\Documents - this one is empty.

    C:\Users\Grant\OneDrive\Documents - this is the one I believe you want me to back up. It contains everything that Microsoft OneDrive has stored on the cloud.

    So I copied the contents of C:\Users\Grant\OneDrive\Documents to C:\Users\Grant\Temp Documents. I closed and then reopened File Explorer and I no longer have multiple Document folders under "This PC". Remember the problem I originally had was multiple Document
    folders under "This PC" intermittently. As a result I can't delete the multiple Document folders because they currently don't exist. I guess I will maintain current configuration for a while to see if they show up. Meanwhile I have a duplicate of my OneDrive
    files and OneDrive is turned off.

    Attached is an image of File Explorer showing the problem of multiple Document folders under This PC.

    1 folder multiple times in the explorer

    Open multiple folders with one click in Explorer

    OK by default Windows File Explorer opens folders in the same Window, that is the problem you are having, as it will only open one folder at a time . . .

    • Open Windows File Explorer, on the View Ribbon, click the Options button
    • On the View Tab of the resulting dialog, scroll down to 'Launch folder Windows in a separate process', check this option
    • Click Apply and OK to close this box

    Now in Windows File Explorer, you can select multiple folders and simply hit the Enter key to open these folders in separate Windows
