That last powershell script posted by cybersaga to give the persmissions worked for me. I tested it on a fresh install. No hand fiddling with the registry needed. :)

While this method is most likely the correct method for hiding the folders from "This PC", you still need to do the unpin fix to keep them off the navigation pane in ALL cases.

.ie Click on one...

yes, and it's still the only one with full control access.

Actually scratch that. I reverted the permissions on one of my keys to test it out again for sure. Everything seems to work out when running the script, but a quick check in the registry shows it's...

Nice, seems to work fine. Saved it for the next time i reformat.

Why is it two programs? And why would i keep the non-store one running all the time?

No thanks.

I'll keep waiting.

yeah i hate that TrustedInstaller guy. :)
