Hiding Default folders for Cleaner View #17854

Dear VS Code MSSQL extension Team,

The databases explorer often gets cluttered with the default folders (System Databases, Security and Server Objects). Can we add a way to easily hide them, like a checkbox in the settings or a filter, to focus on just user databases?

This would make everything cleaner and easier to find, especially for beginners.

Thanks!

This is a good suggestion to simplify the view for less experienced users. One option that may help in this situation is to provide a specific database when connecting, which will remove many of these folders. For example, below.
