If you also want to remove those extra and annoying 6 folders from Windows 10 “This PC” window, check out following simple steps:ġ. So we just need to change the value of “ ThisPCPolicy” to “ Hide” for all 6 folders CLSID in Registry and they will immediately disappear from “This PC” window. If the string value is set to “ Show“, that particular item is shown in “This PC” window and if the string value is set to “ Hide“, that item is not shown in “This PC” window. Now in Windows 10, Microsoft is using a new string “ ThisPCPolicy” in Registry to show or hide items in “This PC” window. Though it took a bit time in finding those Registry keys. I investigated and looked into Windows 10 Registry Editor and finally found a way to remove those 6 folders. Its happening because Microsoft has changed the Registry keys and CLSIDs in Windows 10, that’s why the old Registry script to remove those 6 folders is not applicable to Windows 10. Unfortunately the old trick to get rid of these 6 folders which we shared for Windows 8.1, doesn’t work in Windows 10. Now Windows 10 has been released and it also comes with the same “This PC” window and 6 annoying folders. Tweak and Customize Windows 8.1 Explorer “This PC” You can take a look at the tutorial at following link: That’s why we posted an exclusive tutorial to remove or hide those extra 6 folders from “This PC” window as well as tweaking and customizing other things. Also to enhance “This PC” functionality and UI, Microsoft added 6 extra folder to it which were Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures and Videos.įor many people those extra folders were quite useless and were taking a good amount of space in “This PC” window. When Windows 8.1 operating system was released, Microsoft renamed the good ol’ Windows Explorer or My Computer to “ This PC“.
UPDATE: Registry script updated to also remove the new “ 3D Objects” folder from This PC in newer Windows 10 versions.
