You easily hide the Favorites section just like in Vista, Grab the divider (above Bureau) and you can pull the folder explorer upwards and hide Favorites

 

What language Portuguese or Maybe French ?

 

OK, so all we need is find a way delete User Profile directory. Anyone seen a reg for that ?

I don't mind the ones at the bottom because they don't get in the way, and are kinda useful once in a while.

 

User Home = {59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}

I think that's what I was look for, thanks.. If any do test removing user directory, please post back if it worked

Code:

Favorites     = {323CA680-C24D-4099-B94D-446DD2D7249E}
Libraries     = {031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}
Homegroup     = {B4FB3F98-C1EA-428d-A78A-D1F5659CBA93}
User Home     = {59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}
Computer      = {20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
Network       = {F02C1A0D-BE21-4350-88B0-7367FC96EF3C}
Control Panel = {26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}
Recycle Bin   = {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

Maybe by the weekend I find time to edit User Home guid into the first reg and test on vmware. Don't try on you machine without back up first with regedit. But it prolly should work.
