Remove Shared Documents Folder at the top of My Computer Window

Hate the “Shared Documents” icon at the top of your My Computer window? Instead of
trying to figure out why this bizarre “feature” was needed, here’s how you can be rid of
it: open the Registry Editor
(Start > Run > “regedit” > [Enter]), go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE MicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerMy
ComputerNameSpace DelegateFolders, and delete the sub-key (it looks like a folder)
called {59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}. You should see the effect
immediately.
