Add or Remove Dropbox from Navigation Pane<\/h2>\n

Open a Command Prompt window. To remove Dropbox icon from the navigation pane, type the following commands and press ENTER:<\/p>\n

REG ADD \"HKCU\\SOFTWARE\\Classes\\CLSID\\{E31EA727-12ED-4702-820C-4B6445F28E1A}\\ShellFolder\" \/V Attributes \/T REG_DWORD \/D 4035969101 \/F
\r\nREG ADD \"HKCU\\SOFTWARE\\Classes\\WOW6432Node\\CLSID\\{E31EA727-12ED-4702-820C-4B6445F28E1A}\\ShellFolder\" \/V Attributes \/T REG_DWORD \/D 4035969101 \/F<\/pre>\n
To add the Dropbox icon back, type these commands:<\/p>\n
REG ADD \"HKCU\\SOFTWARE\\Classes\\CLSID\\{E31EA727-12ED-4702-820C-4B6445F28E1A}\\ShellFolder\" \/V Attributes \/T REG_DWORD \/D 4034920525 \/F
\r\nREG ADD \"HKCU\\SOFTWARE\\Classes\\WOW6432Node\\CLSID\\{E31EA727-12ED-4702-820C-4B6445F28E1A}\\ShellFolder\" \/V Attributes \/T REG_DWORD \/D 4034920525 \/F<\/pre>\n
Logoff and login back, or do a clean restart of the Explorer<\/a> shell.<\/p>\n
Setting the “Attributes” value data to f090004d<\/strong> (Decimal: 4035969101) removes the Dropbox shell folder icon, and f080004d<\/strong> (4034920525) adds it back. If you’re using Windows 10 32-bit, you can skip the commands involving the “WOW6432Node” registry key.<\/i><\/p>\n
Automate using Batch file<\/h2>\n
Download dropbox-add-remove.zip<\/a>, unzip and run the included batch files which runs the above commands and restarts Explorer automatically.<\/p>\n
That’s it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
