Remove Dropbox From Navigation Pane
Hello Mr Shawn Brink.Smilei tried to PM you, but the system didn't let me, since this is my first postfollowing the text from the PM:'I just did read (and do) your instructions about removing OneDrive from the left explorer-pane. (and the quick-access pane)after reading a few hour, its great to see your post. With your instructions it was done in 2/3 mins.Smilebut now the question.since this is about DropBox and not about OneDrive, i thought i would b a better idea to just pm you.I want to remove the DropBox item from the left-explorer-pane, but i do not want to remove (uninstall) dropbox.you have any quick instructions?thank you very much in advance.Smile'as u see i didn't want to go off-topicedit:lol, now i posted it in the wrong topic also:).

Remove Dropbox From Navigation Pane Free
Modify Navigation PaneI like many things about Windows 10.One thing I would like to be able to do is remove items from the windows explorer navigation pane. For example, windows has included my 'Dropbox' account folder in the navigation pane. I have a dropbox account and yes there is a folder on my PC for that.However, I rarely use dropbox (it is a legacy from some folks I used to work with).
How can I remove that from the root navigation pane? An alternate question, how does windows decide what to place in the navigation pane?
Modify Navigation PaneThank you, sorry it has taken so long to follow up.The suggested actions did not resolve the problem. I want to add/remove items from the navigation pane (left hand side) of a windows explorer window.
When I reset the folders, it did remove my libraries from the navigation pane; which I expected. Theyare not hard to get back so that is not an issue.The current issue is I want to remove 'Dropbox' from the navigation pane.
More fundamentally, I want the ability to remove or add items to the navigation pane. As readers may be aware, the fix above does not resist Dropbox updates, which reestablish the pesky navigation pane entry.A nuclear response was needed, but not by uninstalling.
I created a Task that consists of running a batch file that implements the reg file above after logon. Dropbox itself is set by Task Manager (not autoruns) to wait for user logon and a working internet connection. This takes a moment, so the batch file is set to run 1 minute after the internet connection is established.This, after several test reboots, works. If after an update or some slow boot the fix doesn't work, just go into Task Scheduler and run the task manually. Groups to join in skyrim. Click to expand.
The quoted text above in 1st post needs to be put into a reg file and merged. As per second post, no luck making it stick; required a workaround. Today I am reinstalling the OS after getting fed up with the problems from an upgrade, and this time I think there will be no Dropbox. Office 365 gives me 1TB, Google Drive 15GB (per email address, or 30GB total), ASUS Webstorage another 5GB iirc, and now 20GB from Cyberlink (not that I like them commercially, as the website is designed for suckers, but the SW does the job for my 3D and upscaling needs, and has the cloud storage to boot.)So it looks like these might, maybe, perhaps are my first and last posts on Dropbox.
