    et rid of Favorites and Libraries entries, Windows Explorer

    If you dislike the Favorites and Libraries entries in the Navigation Pane of Windows Explorer, you can remove them with a registry edit or create .reg files from each of the four parts below to remove or restore as needed.

    Remove Favorites

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{323CA680-C24D-4099-B94D-446DD2D7249E}\ShellFolder]
    "Attributes"=dword:a9400100


    Restore Favotites

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{323CA680-C24D-4099-B94D-446DD2D7249E}\ShellFolder]
    "Attributes"=dword:a0900100

    Posted by Noel Carboni here (I created the .reg files from his info):

    Also in Noel's post, how to get rid of HomeGroup if it appears there as well.
