So there seems to be some odd discrepancy where items are actually located in Windows 10. For example, when I navigate to 'Desktop' in Windows Explorer I see that there are many items that are not actually on the desktop which include:
This PC, Libraries, Network, Control Panel, and my user folder.
I'm confused as to why these items are showing up in Explorere when they are not in face on my Desktop. I think the desktop folder in Explorer should really reflect what is there.
This issue becomes problematic for several reasons. Firstly, it shows items that are simply not where they really are. When managing files and folders users should know where everything is without having to second guess if it is real or some symbolic link.
Another problem that arises out of this is that it creates duplicate items in my Windows Explorer sidebar. Why would I need to find 'This PC' nested inside 'Desktop' when there is another 'THis PC' below it in the sidebar. Even more ridiculous is that users cant edit these lists in the sidebar which leaves a huge cluster of repeated items, many of which are nested in places where they dont reside. This makes no sense. On the sidebar I have 'This PC' with 'Desktop' nested inside it, while there is also 'Desktop' with 'This PC' nested inside it.
While I understand these are most probably symbolic links, how can I arrange the items in my sidebar to reflect actual hierarchical directories instead of repetitive nonsensical symbolic links?
