How does one remove the Dropbox link from the Navigation Pane om Windows 10?
I don't notice it on Win8.1, but I have already hacked out a bunch of stuff in the registry on Win8.1. I have the Dropbox folder conveniently located in the root of a second hard drive, I don't need ...
Okay, I think I figured out how to do it. There's only one key value that you have to change, but you also have to change its permissions so that Dropbox won't change it back.
First you have to go to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E31EA727-12ED-4702-820C-4B6445F28E1A}
And set the System.IsPinnedToNamespaceTree value to 0.
This will remove it from the File Explorer's navigation pane.
Afterwards, you'll need to prevent Dropbox from changing the value back.
To do this, right click the {E31EA727-12ED-4702-820C-4B6445F28E1A} key and then click Permissions. Click Advanced, and then click Add. In the dialog box that appears, type Everyone, and then click OK. Change the type to Deny, and make it apply to This key only. Click Show advanced permissions, and check the Set Value box.
Afterwards, click OK and Dropbox should no longer be able to modify that value. Hopefully Dropbox or Microsoft will make this kind of thing easier someday.
rich R, I hope you realize your first comment was useless because you misunderstood the problem, and the second one is just removing one of many complaining comments in this thread because it had 1 swear word.
edit: I removed the last sentence because it was pretty rude and unnecessary. I'll say this instead. I understand you're probably busy on this forum, and that was most likely a pre-typed response and everything. but as a super user, you should be trying to set a good example. and I don't think you really have. not here anyway.
