Windows 10 is by default showing unoccupied USB drive ports now?
Mainly curious. Thanks.

Yes, or something like that. It is on my end.
Thanks.

In Explorer View Options View [x] Hide empty drives I always thought that switch was for hiding drives with no data on them. You know, as in "Empty recycle bin". Regardless of whether that is true or not... Ever since that switch was available, I have had it unchecked. After Paul's reply, I simply plugged in a USB flash drive which appeared as drive G, clearly answering my question. The drives I mentioned "USB Drive (E  " and "USB Drive (F" have disappeared. Do not know where they came from or where they went. Do not need to know. Wherever they are, they are doing just fine.

A "Photo" inkjet printer with USB cable, some of those have a card reader slot on the front of the printer, for printing pictures from a digital camera. And such a card reader could show up in File Explorer. Paul

Â*Â* Paul 1+ Card readers drive me nuts with all the drive letter they grab. And they don't require anything in the drive either.
