Remove "network locations" from Windows Explorer
How do I remove "Network Locations" from Windows Explorer without turning off my network? I just don't want to view it in Windows Explorer.

Hello Art, :)
If you like, you could use the tutorial below to safely remove DNLA media servers from under "Network locations" in This PC, but I haven't found a way to remove all "Network locations" yet without having issues afterwards.

Thanks, all, for the suggestions. I think I'm going to leave my "Network Locations" alone. I'm getting a bad feeling about trying this!
Thanks for that! I hated how whenever I accidentally hover over my mostly offline SMB share while dragging files/folders, Windows Explorer would freeze for like a minute. I was reluctant to delete the shortcut altogether (partially because it links to another subnet that doesn't automatically show up in Windows Explorer), but now it's in a more convenient and less bothersome location. Namely the same folder as my Recycle Bin taskbar shortcut. Funny thing is, when I mouseover that same SMB shortcut it doesn't lag at all even though they should expand.
*Somehow I forgot how easy it was to copy the shortcut from My Computer in the first place... Oh well.
