<p>On our new Citrix farm we had to strip Windows Explorer so our users couldn&#8217;t access anything than network drives.</p>
<p>Therefore we wanted to remove the Favorites, Libraries and Network from the navigation pane.</p>
<p>By default, Windows Server 2008 R2 does not provides Group Policy to achieve this. Luckily, this can be done via Registry.</p>
<p><strong>Note: Please backup the keys first.</strong></p>
<p>To remove Favorites, please do the following:</p>
<p><strong>First you need to take ownership of the ShellFolder before changing the value of Attributes.</strong></p>
<p>Open registry editor and navigate to the following key.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p><strong>[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{323CA680-C24D-4099-B94D-446DD2D7249E}\ShellFolder]</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Attributes&#8221;=dword:a0900100</strong></p>
<p>Change dword value from <strong>a0900100</strong> to <strong>a9400100</strong> to hide Favorites from the Navigation Pane.</p>
<p>To remove Libraries, please do the following:</p>
<p>Open registry editor and navigate to the following key.</p>
<p><strong>[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}\ShellFolder]</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Attributes&#8221;=dword:b080010d</strong></p>
<p>Change dword value from <strong>b080010d</strong> to <strong>b090010d</strong> to hide Libraries from the Navigation Pane.</p>
<p>To remove the Network, please do the following:</p>
<p><strong>[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F02C1A0D-BE21-4350-88B0-7367FC96EF3C}\ShellFolder]</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Attributes&#8221;=dword:b0040064</strong></p>
<p>Change dword value from <strong>b0040064</strong> to <strong>b0940064</strong> to hide Network from the Navigation Pane.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it, hopefully you&#8217;ll find this post useful, comments are welcome!</p>
