Remove the unsightly icons in Win7 Explorer

  
The icons in the upper left corner of Windows 7 Explorer, "Favorites", "Desktops", and various "Libraries" icons make many people very uncomfortable, although these features are used by Microsoft to provide us with convenience, but used to XP's friends are still used to showing only the various disk partitions on the left side of the computer. There is no need for so many other buttons, so today I found a way to delete these buttons and share them with you.
First enter "ldedit" in the search bar of the start menu, open the registry editor, navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSID{323CA680-C24D-4099-B94D-446DD2D7249E}ShellFolder

Right click on ShellFolder, select permissions - >Administrators, check the "full control", after confirming, double-click Attributes in the right pane, change a0900100 to a9400100, restart Explorer to remove the favorites.
Other settings are similar, as long as you find the corresponding registry key changes. The registry key for the library is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSID{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}ShellFolder, and b080010d is changed to b090010d.
The registry key for the family group is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSID{B4FB3F98-C1EA-428d-A78A-D1F5659CBA93}ShellFolder, which changes b084010c to b094010c.
The registry key of the network is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSID{F02C1A0D-BE21-4350-88B0-7367FC96EF3C}ShellFolder, change b0040064 to b0940064.

Friendly reminder: the icon button that will be used normally, it is recommended not to delete, so it is more convenient to use.
