PM'd

But replace shellstyle.dll in the "C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Aero\Shell\NormalColor" directory.

run CMD as administrator

tskill explorer [press enter]
explorer [press enter]
exit [press enter]

open my computer, organize bar should be gone.

For disable FolderBand:
Open the Shellstyle.dll with Restorator or Reshacker
Extract the UIFile/1
Open the 1.txt and look for
<style resid="FolderBandStyle">
Insert in the next line

<Element padding="rect(0rp,0rp,0rp,-32rp)"/>

Save and replace this in the shellstyle.dll.

Hello,

I've followed instructions above and it works great !
But only for classic interface - if I switch to win7 basic or win7 aero - stupid explorer bar is back again.
Any ideas how to fix that ?

thanks

Hey,

Could anyone upload the edited .dll so that I don't have to install Resource Hacker etc.
I run Windows 7 64bit by the way.

Thanks!

Thank you for this tweak. I really hated that bar.
