How to remove Copilot and other AI features in Windows
If you don't care about having extra bloatware on your system, there are ways to remove or disable Windows Copilot on Windows 11.
This guide will show you how to add or remove Libraries in the File Explorer navigation pane for your account or all users in Windows 11.
Windows 7 introduces Libraries, which provide users with a single, coherent view of their files even when those files are stored in multiple locations. Users can configure and organize libraries. Libraries can contain folders found on the user's computer as well as folders that have been shared over a network. Libraries provide a simpler view of the underlying storage system because, for users, files and folders in Libraries are displayed in a single view, regardless of where they are actually stored.
In File Explorer, users interact with Libraries in the same way they interact with other folders. Libraries are built on top of old known folders (like Camera Roll, Documents, Music, Pictures, Saved Pictures, and Videos), and these known folders are automatically included in the default libraries and set as the default save locations.
The navigation pane is the leftmost pane in File Explorer that's used to find files, folders, and drives on your PC or network.
Note :
