Windows Explorer; hiding favorites and libraries possible?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Because I am not using them, I was wondering if it is possible to hide the favorites and libraries at the left pane in Windows Explorer.

Does someone know if this is possible with probably some registersettings?

I can't find it in the 'Organize' menu....

I tried that, but it is coming back.

What I did:

right click on libraries >> delete

right click on networks >> delete

after about two seconds, everything back.... :wacko:

edit:

It seems I can not delete 'Network' although the option is there.

After deletion, everything is set back as it was.

Without deleting 'Network' Libraries is staying away.

Isn't there an option to get the old XP folder look back?

c:\users\yourname\links.

in this folder there are shortcuts to your favorites bar. If you delete these files they are gone but only favorites name is still there.

how about make a shortcut on your desktop of explorer.exe -> right click -> properties -> shortcut tab -> target line put this C:\Windows\explorer.exe /e,::{20d04fe0-3aea-1069-a2d8-08002b30309d}

this will open explorer in Computer rather then libraries.
