Cyborg_x9 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Hi guys :rolleyes: , Home folder is a new feature added to Windows 10 Tech Preview. It shows favorite folders, most frequently accessed folders and recently accessed files. I found this is very bad :angry: and I think same for many other people also. It may lead to privacy issue. So I got one solution for this annoyance. Here is the solution: Step 1: Go to Regedit->HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HomeFolder\NameSpace\DelegateFolder Step 2: Take a backup of the Home folder. Step 3: Now you will find three 3 Keys for Frequent,Recent and Favorite folder. Now delete which folder you want to remove from home folder. Now exit from Regedit and go to Home folder, you will see modified Home Folder :woot: . Enjoy :D :fun: i11usive 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is a security issue in File Explorer (and it can be) then Finder (OS X) has the same issue. Is the fix there as elegant as yours? (However, if I'm not mistaken, that home view will be different for each individual user with an account/profile.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyclingGuyNOLA Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Or just Right-Click Taskbar\Start Menu Tab and untick the second checkbox under Privacy group will do the same thing. :) +Anarkii and Gaurav Vishal 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaurav Vishal Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Thanks buddy. The second option is better one. Really appreciate the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I'm fine with the Home folder how it is (I actually find it quite useful), but it's always nice to have the option to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briangw Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 yeah, I don't see a problem with it. Privacy? Well, nothing's really private if someone can access/see your dirs anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo1911 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I hate the Home folder. Just when I was learning to get used to Favorite folders, they change the usability design in a year. How can I go straight to This PC instead of that moronic Home folder when I click on File Explorer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Guys, instead of doing hacks, send feedback for this to be in the settings for the Home folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siah1214 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Guys, instead of doing hacks, send feedback for this to be in the settings for the Home folder. Hah! Shush with your logic and sense. Also, lock your damn PC if you care about privacy. If they're at a point where they can view your home folder there's already been a major breach in your security.
