Hi all,

thanks for reading.

I just set up a fresh install of Windows Server 2008, and have a favorite links pane above folders in my Explorer. I know I can drag folders over it, but it comes back, and looks funky.

How can I really just disable that? Anyone know where it is in the registry?

Thanks!
