matty13 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Thanks for the original post and for the ones creating .exe and .bat files./EZ The exe doesnt really do nothing except for executes the bat files or something for you, i was bored then i created an application just to do a simple Shell "bla.bat" in vb6. You Don't Need the app Just run the reg files and click yes to add it to registry. ;) And a mirror: http://www.pulse-fm.com/files/MySharingFolders.zip Thanks to Openpipe for providing my hosting for my website too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+vlsi0n Subscriber¹ Posted April 8, 2007 Subscriber¹ Share Posted April 8, 2007 Or you can delete the registry entry under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\My Computer\Name Space and it should keep your ability to use sharing folders. 5/5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flare Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 How do you delete 'My sharing folders' in the My documents folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty13 Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Im gonna try rewrite an application that does all this and try and get My Sharing Folders removed form My documents too as it comes back all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel T Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 How do you delete 'My sharing folders' in the My documents folder? Just choose to put received files on the desktop in the "Tools > Options > File Transfer" settings and delete the folder from "My Documents" or "user/Documents" if on Vista.

AgEnTsMiTh Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 what key, i cant find this: click on run then type in regedit. From there just navigate the folders until you get to it via what you just posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmz Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 (edited) Delete the reg key located hereHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\My Computer\Name Space that will keep it from reinstalling it. Do not delete that key! The actual key is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{FC9FB64A-1EB2-4CCF-AF5E-1A497A9B5C2D} But deleting that will also cause Sharing Folders to stop working. Check the next post for proper workaround. Edited June 3, 2007 by Ahmz055 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmz Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 (edited) If you want to hide the Sharing Folders icon from My Computer but keep Sharing Folders functionality then the correct value to modify is in the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideMyComputerIcons\ Name: {FC9FB64A-1EB2-4CCF-AF5E-1A497A9B5C2D} Value: 1 (1 hides it, 0 shows it) P.S. This will be in the next build of A-Patch :) Edited June 3, 2007 by Ahmz055 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herby Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 If you want to hide the Sharing Folders icon from My Computer but keep Sharing Folders functionality then the correct value to modify is in the following key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideMyComputerIcons\ Name: {FC9FB64A-1EB2-4CCF-AF5E-1A497A9B5C2D} Value: 1 (1 hides it, 0 shows it) P.S. This will be in the next build of A-Patch :) When you add the DWORD Value at [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideMyComputerIcons], it hides the Sharing Folders from all users. When you add the DWORD Value at [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideMyComputerIcons], it hides the Sharing Folders from the current user only. Fix: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideMyComputerIcons] "{FC9FB64A-1EB2-4CCF-AF5E-1A497A9B5C2D}"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideMyComputerIcons] "{FC9FB64A-1EB2-4CCF-AF5E-1A497A9B5C2D}"=- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
