    Disable "Quick Access"

    To disable Quick Access without breaking drag-drop support, try the edit here:

    How To Remove Quick Access, Folders (6) And Other Shell Folders From File Explorer?:

    http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/remove-quick-access-other-shell-folders-file-explorer/

    Note that this disables Quick Access functionality, but the Quick Access star icon would be still present, but dimmed and non-expandable. My edit sets the quick access shell folder DWORD to 88000.
