I want to remove the yellow highlighted folders from the "This computer" list. Is this some how possible?
I've no clue on what I should google. I can't find any editing options. I hope SU can help.
Greetings Jochem
If you don't want to use Powershell you can use the tool This PC Tweaker to edit and remove the entries.
Run this snippet in Powershell console to delete them.
Remove-Item -Path 'registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{B4BFCC3A-DB2C-424C-B029-7FE99A87C641}'
Remove-Item -Path 'registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{A8CDFF1C-4878-43be-B5FD-F8091C1C60D0}'
