Remove Freebox Server from this PC

Hello,
How can I remove Freebox Server from this PC, since I've it in Explorer (see imege bellow)?
Regards

Without interfering with functionality, you shoud be able to remove the icon from This PC. Items appear under This PC by virtue of registry entries found under:

Code:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace

The default subkeys are:

Code:

DelegateFolders
{088e3905-0323-4b02-9826-5d99428e115f}
{0DB7E03F-FC29-4DC6-9020-FF41B59E513A}
{1CF1260C-4DD0-4ebb-811F-33C572699FDE}
{24ad3ad4-a569-4530-98e1-ab02f9417aa8}
{374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B}
{3ADD1653-EB32-4cb0-BBD7-DFA0ABB5ACCA}
{3dfdf296-dbec-4fb4-81d1-6a3438bcf4de}
{A0953C92-50DC-43bf-BE83-3742FED03C9C}
{A8CDFF1C-4878-43be-B5FD-F8091C1C60D0}
{B4BFCC3A-DB2C-424C-B029-7FE99A87C641}
{d3162b92-9365-467a-956b-92703aca08af}
{f86fa3ab-70d2-4fc7-9c99-fcbf05467f3a}

So look for a value that doesn't match one of the above, and that should be the entry for Firefox Server. First thing to try would be backing up the registry key and then deleting the entry. Then restart & see if things still function normally.

If you find you need to restore the entry or it is recreated when you run the software, then you can try an alternate approach. You can create a registry key named HideMyComputerIcons under:

Code:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
or
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

depending on whether you want the modification to be user-specific or machine-wide. Then you create DWORD entries named with the GUID and with a value of 1. For example, the following hides the 3D Objects folder:


If you're unsure, post back with a screenshot of:

Code:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace

Simple way is to stop and disable the Windows Media Player Service.

Firefox Server is part of Windows Media Player?

I'll be interested to hear from the OP. I read the question as one concerned with appearances. Note that he's already removed the User folders from This PC. I assumed he didn't want to inhibit any functionality.

TNX KeithM for yr exhaustive infos
To be clear, I do not intend to inhibit any functionality of my Freebox Server. All what I'm looking for is to hide the icon of This PC \ Freebox Server. Because is a link for Player reader only.
The real Freebox Server with all granted is on the bottom of the Explorer (see image above) belongs Network.

Regarding yr DelagateFolders subkeys, I've the same BUT for NameSpace (see here bellow images and reg files).
I tried deleting

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\DelegateFolders\{289AF617-1CC3-42A6-926C-E6A863F0E3BA}]
@="DLNA Media Servers Data Source"

then (I'm using x64 machine)

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\DelegateFolders\{289AF617-1CC3-42A6-926C-E6A863F0E3BA}]
@="DLNA Media Servers Data Source"

regedit return "impossible to delete..." message. Not I'm not enabled to delete, but impossible.

So, I created HideMyComputerIcons key as

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideMyComputerIcons]
"{289AF617-1CC3-42A6-926C-E6A863F0E3BA}"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideMyComputerIcons]
"{289AF617-1CC3-42A6-926C-E6A863F0E3BA}"=hex(b):01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00

restart the machine, evrything still function normally. This PC / Freebox Server icon stll here.
I hope I have been as exhaustive as you and gave you all details
Regards

Hmm....
It would be enlighening to see a screenshot of This PC, grouped by type, to see what category Firefox is under. 3 of our 4 DelegateFolders entries match, but I have an entry named {9113A02D-00A3-46B9-BC5F-9C04DADDD5D7} with (Default) data being Enhanced Storage Data Source. I don't have an entry named {640167b4-59b0...}. What is the data for that entry?
All these keys under HKLM are protected to avoid casual modification. To delete you have to take ownership & then grant yourself Full Control, and then delete.
The other possibility is that, though it doesn't exist by default, Explorer will look for ...Explorer\MyComputer\Namespace under HKCU, so check to see if that exists.
