"Display simple folder view"

[twig]

I disable this option immediately after a fresh install of windows, and wondering if this could be integrated into nLite.

Or wondering if this option exists and I have overlooked it many times.

Thanks in advanced!

Add the next command in Unattended->RunOnce section of nLite to disable "Display simple folder view":

REG.EXE ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /v "FriendlyTree" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f>nul

Or paste the code in a batch file and verify first if it works.

I always disable that automatically (in fact after a fresh install I search for "friendly" in the registry and disable everything - what's friendly for Microsoft isn't friendly for me), but after this post I stopped a second to think about this and searched to find out what this really is.

So here is an explanation of this 'feature' in case anyone wonders what it is.

Thank you! Was trying to figure this one out as well.
