Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10

Thanks for teh welcome.

Just to clarify, turning off libraries using the pop-up menu in the navigation pane works, but only with 'Show all folders' turned off as well.

I like to have 'Show all folders' turned so I can see Recycle Bin, Desktop, User Folder & Control Panel. I suppose using 'Quick Access' shortcuts for these would be a work around, but still, it would be cool to remove the Library with 'Show all folders' on.

Cheers for your efforts.

In that case, Option Four below should do that for you, but I haven't tested it in Windows 10 yet. :)

Never mind. Tutorial works.


Looks like MS has changed reg keys, (again ) in build 10166. Old keys won't work, but there are the ones:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{1CF1260C-4DD0-4ebb-811F-33C572699FDE}]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B}]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{3ADD1653-EB32-4cb0-BBD7-DFA0ABB5ACCA}]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{A0953C92-50DC-43bf-BE83-3742FED03C9C}]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{A8CDFF1C-4878-43be-B5FD-F8091C1C60D0}]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{B4BFCC3A-DB2C-424C-B029-7FE99A87C641}]

Save as: Remove Desktop, Documents, Downloads, etc on Windows 10.reg

And:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{1CF1260C-4DD0-4ebb-811F-33C572699FDE}]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B}]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{3ADD1653-EB32-4cb0-BBD7-DFA0ABB5ACCA}]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{A0953C92-50DC-43bf-BE83-3742FED03C9C}]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{A8CDFF1C-4878-43be-B5FD-F8091C1C60D0}]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{B4BFCC3A-DB2C-424C-B029-7FE99A87C641}]

Save as: Restore Desktop, Documents, Downloads, etc on Windows 10.reg

Hello Kizo, :)

I'm not sure what you mean. The keys for the user folders in your post already in the .reg files in the tutorial.

The "DelegateFolders" key in your post above is not part of the user folders, and should not be included.

The tutorial still works for me in both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 10 build 10166.

Sorry, my bad. I haven't downloaded and tested the latest one, I extracted it myself from registry, without cutting off ''DelegatFolders''.

Corrected.

No problem. Glad to hear they are working for you as well. :)
