Re: User Folder in Explorer

If you have the following key in the registry:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CLSID\{59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}]

Delete it.

Have you added the sysinternals REGJUMP command to your path?

You deal with reg keys a lot, so I suppose you know about it, but I have
only started using it recently. I look at the list of commands they have
every few months/years, and I tend to find ones that I find useful, and
seemed to have missed on my searches.

Re: User Folder in Explorer

You're welcome. The key doesn't exist by default, but would be created if
you changed the icon for the folder. But it shouldn't rename the folder.
