^^ No. It has nothing to do with theme. As you can see in the screenshots, we are using custom AeroVG Se7en theme.

This only works on Windows7 default theme.

For those that want a quick way to do this: my hubby's batch file method (this is the section relating to removing 'Favorites') note the value has to be in decimal. you'll have to get setacl from the author's website if you don't already have it Set NP="HKCR\CLSID\{323CA680-C24D-4099-B94D-446DD2D7249E}\ShellFolder" "SetACL.exe" -on %NP% -ot reg -actn setowner -ownr "n:S-1-5-32-544;s:y" "SetACL.exe" -on %NP% -ot reg -actn ace -ace "n:Administrators;p:full" "SetACL.exe" -on %NP% -ot reg -actn ace -ace "n:Users;p:full" REG ADD %NP% /v Attributes /d 2839544064 /t REG_DWORD /f

^^ Sorry mate but its really very hard to accomplish. There are too much coding in the file and you'll need to experiment with each of them.

Hiya!!

I'm not really sure if i've already asked this, so i'm really sorry if i already asked this, so here's the question:

When i moved navigation panel on the right side of the window, i started to wonder is it possible to change links expanding style too?? Now it expands it to right, but is it possible to change expanding style to left, i mean that when i click that icon in explorer it expands it to left instead of right.

I think that maybe i should edit shell32.dll file, but i don't know what part i should edit.

Can you help me Vishal?

Thanx mate!!

Disabled UAC as soon as I got the box built(!) and I am an admin. on it (but no, I don't use that account for general usage). Any other ideas?

^^ Try to disable UAC and then login as administrator and repeat the above mentioned steps.

Weird... "Favorites" has come back but, when I check the registry, the value is still the correct value given in this article. Any ideas?
