Customize Folder Tree

Post by Binky »

Is there a way to select which elements show up in the folder tree. Windows Explorer has this option and, my windows folder tree, only, contains "Quick access" and "This PC". No other elements are shown in the tree.

See the Folder Tree Blacklisting video. (And/or search the quickstart <F1> guide for "blacklist".)

Thanks for the reply. Shortly after my original post, I found the blacklist in the context menu and it gets me part of the way there. "This PC" is nested under "Desktop" and there doesn't seem to be a way to elevate a level so that it ranks with Quick access and Desktop. It, also, seems like some items can't be pinned to Quick Access. Is there a way to see what is pinned to Quick Access and what is there because of frequent use?

to avoid confusion, explorer's quick access is independent to the same name feature of xplorer2. There is no "pinning", just manage with drag-drop.
a quick solution for limiting the tree to THISPC is to use /R command line switch /R:::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
