    Hide home folders


    Is it at all possible to hide the Downloads, Links, Favorites, Searches, Videos, Saved Games, and Contacts folders (just the folder, not contents)? I've tried just hiding it like any other folder but it won't work.

    AND if possible, have explorer open in my home folder instead of libraries.

    PS: I tried disabling libraries entirely, but it opens to My Documents instead of my home folder.

    personally I have explorer open in documents :
    for windows explorer to open my computer view by default instead of libraries, simply right click explorer icon on taskbar select properties and replace shortcut with %windir%\explorer.exe /n, /c, ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

    Windows Explorer (default) is %windir%\explorer.exe

    Documents is %windir%\explorer.exe /n,::{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}

    Documents Library is %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries\Documents.library-ms
    follow this tut for more commands

    So how do I actually apply that? I don't get that guide.

    I tried in the target field

    C:\Windows\explorer.exe %UserProfile%

    But that didn't work.
