Hello TinCanFury, and welcome to Ten Forums. :)
This tutorial is for how to add or remove the default "Folders" in This PC instead.
The info box at the top of the tutorial makes it clear. Unfortunately, the title can only have so many characters, so something had to go.
You can add custom folders to This PC using a 3rd party program called Winaero Tweaker.
Customize This PC folders with Winaero Tweaker in Windows 10, Windows 8 and Windows 7 - Winaero
The updated files for removing all folders don't appear to be working. All of the registry keys in both the 64- and 32-bit files are missing the leading -, so the entries aren't being removed. When I added the - myself the file worked properly.
Thanks a ton for this!
Hey man. I want to report that this no longer works in FCU update Build 16299. so also the remove Networks and HomeGroup registry too..
Please man fix it
Hi, @mancerrss ... Not sure what is not working for you, but Shawn (the author) posted he fixed something, in the post 2 above yours. Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 - Page 35 - General Tips Tutorials
Maybe get a fresh copy and try it again? Just a thought...

Hello @Brink,
I have additional information for this Tutorial.
At the moment the tutorial is not complete because there is a problem
If you Pin default folders in Quick access:
"Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Videos"
and navigate through folders in a specific way
then the default folders will be displayed again in the This PC (will be displayed until the Explorer is closed)
- Pin any default folders in Quick access
- Select the pinned folder in Quick access
- Select Local Disk C
then
- use Mouse arrows or arrows in Explorer or keys on keyboard (Alt + Arrow Left\Right)
- completely click the arrow to the Left
- completely click the arrow to the Right
and you will see that the folder is displayed in the This PC.
The solution to this problem.
Go to Regedit and change next values
need change f080004d to f090004dCode:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;Desktop ;Documents [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\WOW6432Node\CLSID\{d3162b92-9365-467a-956b-92703aca08af}\ShellFolder] "Attributes"=dword:f080004d [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{d3162b92-9365-467a-956b-92703aca08af}\ShellFolder] "Attributes"=dword:f080004d ;Downloads [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\WOW6432Node\CLSID\{088e3905-0323-4b02-9826-5d99428e115f}\ShellFolder] "Attributes"=dword:f080004d [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{088e3905-0323-4b02-9826-5d99428e115f}\ShellFolder] "Attributes"=dword:f080004d ;Music [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\WOW6432Node\CLSID\{3dfdf296-dbec-4fb4-81d1-6a3438bcf4de}\ShellFolder] "Attributes"=dword:f080004d [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{3dfdf296-dbec-4fb4-81d1-6a3438bcf4de}\ShellFolder] "Attributes"=dword:f080004d ;Pictures [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\WOW6432Node\CLSID\{24ad3ad4-a569-4530-98e1-ab02f9417aa8}\ShellFolder] "Attributes"=dword:f080004d [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{24ad3ad4-a569-4530-98e1-ab02f9417aa8}\ShellFolder] "Attributes"=dword:f080004d ;Videos [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\WOW6432Node\CLSID\{f86fa3ab-70d2-4fc7-9c99-fcbf05467f3a}\ShellFolder] "Attributes"=dword:f080004d [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{f86fa3ab-70d2-4fc7-9c99-fcbf05467f3a}\ShellFolder] "Attributes"=dword:f080004d
NOTE this is method incomplete
NOTE editing these registry values requires administrator rights
NEED FIND Second value for Desktop, because change Desktop value from "64-bit_Remove_All_user_Folders_in_This_PC-RECOMMENDED.reg" prevents this folder from being Pinned to the Quick access.
By analogy, like the rest of the default folders, the desktop folder should have a second reg value.
I hope for your help in finding the second value for the Desktop folder.
Best regards.
