Ever since I upgraded to Windows 10, I'm now seeing the 4 card reader drives built into my computer appearing on some of the different desktop folders.

They don't appear on C:\Users\username\Desktop, nor do they show up on the physical desktop screen itself, which also doesn't show the Recycle Bin, Control Panel, etc (ie, it works the same way I had set it up before on 8.1) but they do appear on my taskbar desktop, on the navigation pane, and so forth.



How do I hide these without disabling the drives?

Try opening File Explorer, click the view tab, click the options ICON and select Change folder and search options
In the folder options dialog box select the View tab from along the top.
Select the radio button that says "Don't show hidden files, folder, or drives
AND
Select the check box that says "Hide empty drives"
See if that works for you.
Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't
Good luck.

I was able to get this to work by deleting {F5FB2C77-0E2F-4A16-A381-3E560C68BC83} from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\DelegateFolders

Thanks for the help, Trouble!
