    Does someone know what this setting in the Registry is for?


    Using Windows 10 version version 1909 (2)

    The setting in question is at:

    Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

    It is this: {A52BBA46-E9E1-435F-B3D9-28DAA648C0F6} REG_EXPAND_SZ %USERPROFILE%\Overdrive

    Does someone know what this setting in the Registry is for?

    A Google search for the {A52BBA46-E9E1-435F-B3D9-28DAA648C0F6} GUID shows it's related to OneDrive.

    It's mentioned in this post here as specifically related to the 'File Explorer dropdown that shows when you click on the icon on the left of the "File Path" window'.

    Hope this helps...

    {A52BBA46-E9E1-435F-B3D9-28DAA648C0F6} is the GUID of the OneDrive System folder. The various System Folders afre defined under the registry key:
    Code:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions

    The key you inquired about,
    Code:
    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

    associates the varous per-user System Fplders with their file system location for that user.
