    Good evening @Brink

    So what registry modifications would I have to make to get Show Contacts, Favorites, Links, Saved Games, Searches to actually show up in This PC?

    Thanks!

    Hey mate,

    There's not really an easy way other than add them as a custom folder to This PC. If you like, I found this below that does a good job of showing how to manually do this.

    After updating to Windows 10 21H1 some of these regfiles causes the folder rename bug on my system (cannot give a name for a new folder, nor rename any folders). I don't know why this is happening, but I have isolated it to 4 of the files (the others don't cause this error to happend here):
    "64-bit_Hide_3D-Objects_folder.reg", "64-bit_Hide_Desktop_folder.reg", "64-bit_Hide_Favorites_folder.reg" and "64-bit_Hide_OneDrive_folder.reg"

    Hello Lars,

    I've tested this in build 21390, and I'm not getting the folder rename bug after using those 4 hide REG files you mentioned.

    Do you have a REG to keep User profile closed [NOT Hide] so like keep Shawn Brink closed so evertime i open File Explorer it always open User profile

    I like it tidy like User profile [Closed] This PC Devices and Printers [Yep i use your REG] Desktop Doc Download etc etc

    Hello,

    Usually, the navigation pane of File Explorer will open the same way as last closed.

    You could apply this folder view to either all folders or only all folders with the same template to set it this way for now, but they will still open the same as "last closed" if changed afterwards.

    Apply Folder View to All Folders of Same Type in Windows 10

    Set Default Folder View for all Folders in Windows 10

    The entry for 3D folders does not work. I've tried it 3 times and even checked to hide it under Properties, but no difference.
    This is with version 22H2

    Never mind, it required a reboot to take effect unlike the others.
