    I have a small list of customizations that I am looking for.

    1) How do I delete/disable data logging?
    2) Is there a way to remove the "New" for newly installed apps under the Start menu?
    3) When a program crashes, how do you disable the menu that pops up that ask if you want to fix it and then attempts to send data?
    4) How do I disable Cortana and Windows Search?

    Removing Dropbox and OneDrive links from the navigation pane (sidebar) in File Explorer:

    1. Open the Registry Editor: Search "Regedit"

    2. Change the data of System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree value subkey to 0 for the fowllowing registry locations:

    For Dropbox:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E31EA727-12ED-4702-820C-4B6445F28E1A}

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{E31EA727-12ED-4702-820C-4B6445F28E1A} (for Windows 10 64-bit only)

    For OneDrive:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6} (for Windows 10 64-bit only)

    I'm searching for a few things :

    - In Explorer nav panel, i have the DVD in the "root" tree (align whith "this PC", "Quick Access" ...) and i have it under "This PC" again, like in the picture. Is there a way to delete/hide the "root" one, with the red circle in my screenshoot.

    - Also, is there a way to space up in verticality the icon in the nav panel ?

    - a way to configure in a reg key the accent color for the theme ?

    - And finally, a way to increase the space between the bottom right taskbar icons (sound, network ...) in a way like in tablet mode, but less wider?

    Hi guys, not sure if this is already asked or not.

    Back in Windows 8 or 8.1, if I bring the start menu, and start typing some application, let's say I type "calculator", the result showed correctly and when I press Enter, the calculator program start to run.
    Now in Windows 10, if I type "calculator", there's nothing being showed. It's just "calculator - search my stuff", which is not the real calculator program. It seems like the start menu program search is broken. How do i fix this?

    EDIT: Fixed by enabling "Windows Search" in services.msc.

    You have to erase your entire hard drive and your motherboard must support the change (there is an option in bios to change it)

    Don't mind the people below you, you can actually do this on the fly with a few clicks without loosing any data whatsoever with AOMEI Partition Assistant.

    Good Luck!
