Get the Older Windows by Deleting Folders from This PC in Windows 10

Several changes have been noticed in windows 8.1 and 10 versions. Like from “My Computer” they named it “Computer” and from “Computer” they renamed it “This PC”.

In This PC you will find 6 additional folders namely Documents, Pictures, Videos, Music and Desktop.

But some of the Windows lovers doesn’t like this idea as they think earlier version (Windows 7) is better. So they somehow wanted to remove these folders from This PC to make it feel like the older one.

So now you must be thinking what’s there in removing the folders from This PC. Then let me tell you it is not that simple as you are thinking. To remove the folder from This PC you need to deal with the Registry Settings which most of us are not aware of.
