How to stop a program from adding a Quick access shortcut?
Hi! I use Google Drive File Stream to access my Google Drive content locally.
GDFS mounts a cloud drive, assigning it a letter (G: in my case). If you open that, you find a single entry "My Drive". As such, I have a Quick access shortcut to this "My Drive folder".
GDFS insists, periodically, in adding a shortcut in Quick Access to G: (which makes zero sense, considering you already have one under "This PC").
Is there a way to stop it from doing so? I have tried assigning read-only permissions to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Ribbon for every account except the one I sign in as. This includes, administrators, system, everything. Only my account (lasher) has full control, all others are read only. Nonetheless, the shortcut reappears periodically.
