Add or Remove Google Drive from Navigation Pane in Windows 10

Hello Kbird,

Rob can probably answer your question better than me. For me I used Rob's old bat to remove Google Drive from the navigation pane and then used the new one to put it back. Currently with everything synced I have the blue arrows on .tmp.drivedownload folder's icon.

In my installation .tmp.drivedownload is a hidden folder. It does have a file in it while sync is done: "8686804.driveupload".

I would mark it as hidden to keep it out of your view.

Also, please run the updated batch file and just "Add" again. It will remove the registry entries by the old batch file.

Thanks Guys , I'll grab the new .bat and run it and the Icon Overlay file too and report back if I have issues...

I notice today that it depends where I look ,whether I see the Overlay Icons , I did prioritize Googles' ones with the .bat file.

Google Drive from the Nav. bar shows none but if I goto E:\Google Drive they show... Normal?

I guess I have messed something Up then :) , I thought from the Pics earlier in the thread something wasn't right , so I thought I'd mention it...

Using Win10 64bit on all my Machines , One Drive and Google Drive in Use here I do not use Dropbox at all

Should I run the Prioritise .bat again and de-prioritise Google Overlays?

Thanks Shawn , I appreciate it.

Ok will do was just about to reboot cos nothing happened when I installed the 1st one....

*** I ran the new file and didn't see anything in the nav. pane either ( I had run the remove via the.bat 1st ) so I rebooted and still nothing in the Nav Pane , so I ran your 2nd E:\ Drive .reg. file again and Google Drive appeared immediately in the Nav. Pane AND has overlay Icons :) ...Thx again @Brink Shawn.
