I hear ya.
I think it would be great for MS to redesign so that FAV folders stayed PINNED to the window so they were always avail I shouldn't have to scroll up each time to find them. I mean, they are FAVORITES, shouldn't they always be accessible, isn't that the point? Rant over :) From: Andrew S.

There will be many Win7 / 2008 R2 RDS deployments starting and we all know users who can't cope when something changes. Reg key hacks and stripping perms with subinacl really isn't a good way to be managing these sort of modifications to a new desktop environment, IMHO.

We are moving to Win 7 and for now plan to keep it hidden. I know I can disable this via a registry key, but it won't apply via GPO/script since you have to manually change the key's permissions first. Or is there a way to change perms via a GPO? Key I am using is: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}\ShellFolder] "QueryForOverlay"="" "HideOnDesktopPerUser"="" "PinToNameSpaceTree"="" "Attributes"=dword:b080010d Suggestions appreciated.
