Is it possible to implement this feature, so that the 6 folders Desktop,Documents,Downloads, Music,Pictures and Videos could be removed?

Hi,

maybe there will be this tweak in the future.
Till then, you can use this registry entries:


Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\{0ddd015d-b06c-45d5-8c4c-f59713854639}\PropertyBag]
"ThisPCPolicy"="Hide"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\{B4BFCC3A-DB2C-424C-B029-7FE99A87C641}\PropertyBag]
"ThisPCPolicy"="Hide"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\{f42ee2d3-909f-4907-8871-4c22fc0bf756}\PropertyBag]
"ThisPCPolicy"="Hide"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\{7d83ee9b-2244-4e70-b1f5-5393042af1e4}\PropertyBag]
"ThisPCPolicy"="Hide"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\{a0c69a99-21c8-4671-8703-7934162fcf1d}\PropertyBag]
"ThisPCPolicy"="Hide"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\{35286a68-3c57-41a1-bbb1-0eae73d76c95}\PropertyBag]

Hello guys,

I've included an updated solution in "EX-100 - v0.4.0.0" named : "Tweaks - Explorer - Remove Libraries from Navigation Pane" ... is that worked ?

And you could also remove almost all Explorer element using v0.4.0.0 !

If not just let me, because I update with caphp method ... Smile

Thanks.

For me the WinReducer solution do the same. It looks like different keys are set
The result is OK without the Registry setting

In fact after more checking the modified key by WinReducer is not enough as the entries after using the "Acces rapide" just come back.
Adding the proposed 6 keys just run as fine no come back

Sorry for my first feedback
Cheers

Hello,

Are you talking about navigation pane "Libraries" or "Quick Access" links ?

- To disable "Librairies" (in Navigation Pane) use : "Tweaks - Explorer - Remove Libraries from Navigation Pane"

- To disable "Quick Access" (in Navigation Pane) use : "Tweaks - Explorer - Remove Quick Access Icon from Navigation Pane"

- Or use "Tweaks - Explorer - Open File Explorer To (This PC)"" to change "Explorer" startup display
