Herby Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Strange I don't have that in my registry. It's not there by default,.. you'll have to add it manually or merge the attached reg file.

StarLion Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Guys, I think were going about this the wrong way. The DLL that needs to be unregistered changes, and manually editing the registry should be avoided whenever possible. Besides, there's a much simpler way to remove the My Sharing Folders icon (and any other unwanted icons) from My Computer. Simply pop open TweakUI, click on "My Computer" from the list on the left, and un-check whatever items you don't want. I've known about this since I had to figure out a way to kill the AOL icon that showed up under My Computer on my parents PC back in 2002, I would have posted about it sooner if I had known it was such a secret. Edit: TweakUI is available directly from Microsoft on their Power Toys page: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloa...ppowertoys.mspx Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/411817-guide-remove-my-sharing-folders/page/6/#findComment-588610536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmz Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Indeed, but some people don't like installing (and uninstalling) more applications to their computer if they don't have to :) An option for everyone I guess :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/411817-guide-remove-my-sharing-folders/page/6/#findComment-588610544 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalE Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 But is there a TweakUI for Vista? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/411817-guide-remove-my-sharing-folders/page/6/#findComment-588656203 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger H. Veteran Posted June 27, 2007 Veteran Share Posted June 27, 2007 yeah, there is one but the above works just fine too. I just tried it and i'm finally My Sharing Folders crap free. My GF insists i have WLM so she can turn on her webcam when she goes to Australia in few weeks. She comes over and uses it too on my system, i hate IMs now for some reason, havne't installed Yahoo or AIM or ICQ (yikes that one is years!!) in a few months.
