There's an option in 8.1 that controls libraries appearance in the navigation pane (right-click there to see it). http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/8526-libraries-add-remove-navigation-pane-windows-8-explorer.html When libraries are displayed there, the File Explorer shortcut on the...

It's a good point too, as we don't know where exactly Google Drive folder has been created :) At any rate, if it's a single user PC, permissions don't matter.

In addition to the previous post, open Win+R - inetcpl.cpl - Programs, and set the behavior for opening links.

Correct. Although if you start messing with your Windows, you may run into situations when even running programs as administrator does not allow you to make certain changes. This applies to accessing folders and modifying registry keys protected by special system accounts, such as TrustedInstaller.

This is normal, because standard users don't have permissions to do that. Even if you have an administrative account, you work with standard user permissions unless you elevate them with the UAC prompt. You should be saving files in your profile. But if you insist on the root of the system...

Good for you, but it's not clear why you ignored the rest of my instructions. It's up to you, though, whether to use the workaround or just refresh/reinstall the OS or even send it back to HP, given other problems of which you informed us suddenly in a form of reminder O_o

Working solution

Well, you may have faulty drivers or hardware. The easiest way to check is to do a clean install from original ISO, of course. If the problem persists, you've got hardware problems. Otherwise: 1. Uninstall (not just disable) any security software + any other non-Microsoft software you find...

Does the same problem occur when you boot into safe mode this way?
