Add a function to Sophia Script to remove User Folders from This PC

Windows Registry Editor:

; Documents Folder
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\{f42ee2d3-909f-4907-8871-4c22fc0bf756}\PropertyBag]
"ThisPCPolicy"="Hide"

The function is done. Soon a new script version will be released. 🐱

Thank you!

Do you think "Quick Actions from Notification Center" feature should be added? To hide it I created a .reg file with the following:

; Unpin Quick Actions from Notification Center
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Quick Actions\Control Center\Unpinned]
"Microsoft.QuickAction.ScreenClipping"=hex(0):
"Microsoft.QuickAction.Project"=hex(0):
"Microsoft.QuickAction.AllSettings"=hex(0):
"Microsoft.QuickAction.AvailableNetworks"=hex(0):
"Microsoft.QuickAction.Location"=hex(0):
"Microsoft.QuickAction.QuietHours"=hex(0):
"Microsoft.QuickAction.Connect"=hex(0):
"Microsoft.QuickAction.Vpn"=hex(0):
"Microsoft.QuickAction.BlueLightReduction"=hex(0):
"Microsoft.QuickAction.WiFi"=hex(0):
"Microsoft.QuickAction.AirplaneMode"=hex(0):
"Microsoft.QuickAction.NearShare"=hex(0):
"Microsoft.QuickAction.MobileHotspot"=hex(0):
"Microsoft.QuickAction.Bluetooth"=hex(0):

Oh, no. Please. Nobody cares about that icons)

Better find how to expand Action Center. It's collapsed bu default. Will be much useful)

[Obegg]

Just for clarification - you mean this?

[farag2]

Yes!

[Obegg]

Well, I did try, I've used RegistryChangesView to see what changes when I expand or collapse the action center, and seems like the major one is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Quick Actions\Control Center\QuickActionsStateCapture with Toggles so that instead of showing 4 entries it shows 8 entries for example, but I tested it and it doesn't seem to change anything, I even tried with PowerShell instead of .reg file and couldn't get it to change even after restart to the machine. Any ideas to continue with this?

[farag2]

Well, OK I will check by myself)

[farag2]

It's stored in a binary format somewhere in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CloudStore\Store\DefaultAccount\Current\default$windows.data.controlcenter.uistate\windows.data.controlcenter.uistate. I give up...

[Obegg]

Nice try though, good effort
