| | I haven't seen a way to remove it yet, but you can hide the navigation list completely if you never use that. Just go to Organize-Layout-navigation pane. click on that and to get it back just click on it again. It will be like this without it. Last edited by Brink; 05-15-2009 at 11:59 AM..

In "ShellFolder" go to 'Attributes' and change the value from 0xa9000100 > 0xa9400100. 4. Leave regedit. 5. Reboot your machine. If everything is done correctly "Favorites" should now be disabled completely when your system is rebooted. 6. Enjoy life without the annoyance that was the "Favorite" folder. Hope this helps - Anders  |
