thanks for reading.

I just set up a fresh install of Windows Server 2008, and have a favorite links pane above folders in my Explorer. I know I can drag folders over it, but it comes back, and looks funky.

How can I really just disable that? Anyone know where it is in the registry?

Thanks!

are you speaking of the navigation pane on the LHS in explorer? or the favorites bar in internet explorer? a screenshot may help? – Nick Kavadias Nov 10 '09 at 3:59

Here is an article that describes disabling it in Vista. The steps should be the same in Windows 2008.

Really seems like there should be a way to just get rid of the favorites and keep the folder tree... – Eli Oct 9 '09 at 20:46
agree, Windows Server 2008 is the same GUI base as Vista, and Windows Server 2008 R2 is the same GUI base as Windows 7 – Jeff Atwood♦ Feb 12 '10 at 11:34
