File Manager - Remove left nav entries and pins
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am very frustrated to always have the pins in file manager - Home, Gallery, Downloads, Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos Image attached. There are hit or miss ways to remove them, but inconsistent and hard to find.
Describe the solution you'd like A section to select or de-select which ones you want to see in File Manager
Describe alternatives you've considered Doing this manually is hit or miss - and with Windows 11 so far it's mostly all misses, not sure how to do it.
Additional context
Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
I will be happy to help test this on multiple Windows machines, help in any way I can - I love your tool, and this would just be a really convenient "place to put this" type thing.

I already looked into that some time ago. As far as I got it to work you can get a list of items, but which one are pinned and which one are only there because u used them often so that they got recommended in explorer isn't determinable. In addition u can't choose the order per se, you'd have to get the pinned ones right, unselect all and reselect them in the right order.
Because of these reasons I gave up on that Idea. If someone finds a way it would be a cool feature if executed in a good way to be compact but functional it would be a cool feature, but as good as I tested some designes but with every one it would just be big and almost better to just do manually.
Anyone experimenting with this please keep in mind that it is quite a delicate thing to dig into the explorer internals, so expect your PR to be denied if it does anything more but quite superficial settings/registry changes. Messing with the explorer internals can completely break your system quite easily
Respect @MyDrift-user and @Marterich , solid answers. If I ever have some sort of epiphany I'll let you know, else maybe it will just be an unfulfilled wish ;-)
I don't know you're specific processes here but please feel free to keep open or close this as you see fit.
Thanks
