Windows 10: Removing entries from explorer network discovery/address bar?

So i've done my best to track this stuff down in the registry but its prolific enough that I dont want to break anything by doing it via that route.

Best I can tell - these entries are related to virtual machines in which I had set up sharing with or connected to my host from within at some point. I likely still have the VM's but dont regularly use them and would prefer to at least know how to clear the explorer address bar/list of the unsightly clutter.

I blurred out some of the uuid which is likely irrelevant anyhow, but i dont know enough to say one way or the other.

Cannot keep Network Discovery Enabled.

Hi,

Thank you for the response.

I would suggest that you change the settings in the Firewall to allow Network discovery so that the Firewall stays On while allowing the Network discovery to be enabled.

Follow the steps.

a . Open Control panel.

b. Small icons from the drop down.

c. Click on Windows Firewall.

d. Click on Allow programs or feature through Firewall.

e. Scroll the list and check Network Discovery.

If you need additional assistance then let us know.

remove address bar file explorer

Hi all,

How do we remove the "Address bar" from "file explorer", while in "tablet mode"?

This is for Windows 10 - Enterprise

We tried the 2 steps below.

1- This will work for the FullPath, but not FullPathAddress

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState

FullPath and FullpathAddress

0 = display name

1 = display full path

2- no luck with this one too.

We tried the Offset trick 0018 from this article Explorer Menu Bar removal
