How can I hide link folders?

(1/1)

2wheelrider:
When I start MC, on of the folders it defaults to is my Documents folder.  That Folder tree lists folders that are not physically in \Documents like what you see in this screen snip. 



Is there a way to configure MC to only list in its Folder tree the directories that physically reside in the selected directory?

Mathias (Author):
Well they are things in the file system. That are item in the filesystem that are file system links that are pointing to other places.

In configuration you can turn off the translation so it does not show where it actually are redirecting to.
But you can turn off so they are not shown at all. because the idea of MC is to show you what the Filesystem really looks like without lying to you..

2wheelrider:
Thanks for the response Mathias.  I am surprised by it though, perhaps because I am naive about how C:\User\Brian\Music, C:\User\Brian\Pictures, and C:\User\Brian\Videos can be considered as existing within the file structure of C:\User\Brian\Documents.  I will try to find where to turn off the translation which I hope will minimize their distraction.

Explorer panel settings > Display (tab)
Under "sorting and columns" 
Uncheck
"Show link target in name column"

2wheelrider:
Hmmm...  My "Show link target in name column" is unchecked.  Portable version limitation perhaps?
