    How to change opening new tab behaviour for drives in Windows 11?


    After updating to 24H2, each time I open new tab for external drives, windows will also auto unclip all of the content that is inside them not sure how it's called, but I'm referring to the arrow next to the drive that open the folders and files that inside,And it slow down opening tabs due to that.It only happens for external drives and when open a new tab for them,How do I change it?

    :)

    How in WIN 11 do I change the drive letter of the CD/ROM drive?

    Thanks, Greg.

    So this is what worked, step by step.

    Reboot

    Drive is listed as E: in file explorer.

    Drive not listed in Disk Management.

    Insert DVD, it plays after short pause.

    Disk management now shows Audio CD as E:

    Right click, change letter to R: (while playing!)

    Reboot.

    Drive now shows as BD-RE drive as R: in File Explorer.

    The bottom line is

    - File Explorer does not provide for changing drive letter afics.

    - Disk Management seems to need a disk to be in the drive for it to "see" the drive. I can't recall is this is Win 10 behaviour

    I don't recall having any difficulty with this in Win 10 (its possible that the Win 10 default drive allocation was "after" my external drives; or I "just changed it").

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

    IE 11 on Windows 10 opens a site in previous tab

    Original title: Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10 opening page in new tab

    Noticed this odd and irritating behaviour on IE 11.

    I have 2 tabs open with sites displayed.

    Click on New tab, and that is active.

    Click on Favourites to open a site, and that site opens in the previous tab, not the blank one I just opened.

    Why ???

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    And I won't mention Edge...

    How to change opening new tab behaviour for drives in Windows 11?

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
