Removing those annoying links from Explorer

Which services? Those that are at the left of our explorer.

How?

You can edit the registry by hand but it is a bit chore. Or you can use this little application.

escuelainformatica/CleanExplorer

What this application does?

Those services are visible in the explorer using a registry value called System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree. If the value is 1, then it is visible in the Explorer, otherwise, it is not visible.

But it also determines if the (default) value is set.

So, this application determines if there is a class-root with the value indicated, and flip the value (0 or 1).
