    Windows LTSC 2019

    One thing I found shocking in moving to Win10 was the clutter of the File Explorer navigaton pane. I use a bunch of those reg tweaks to get rid of that stuff, Heres the whole ugly list just to show how much clutter. BTW, One Drive is not in there because I run LTSC 2019 which does not have it.
