Log off and log on or restart the computer after applying le registre hack, which will delete the above registry keys and/or values. No Libraries folder or shortcut will be shown in Explorateur Windows’s navigation pane, and “Include in Library” item on Commands bar will not work too. Notez que if you cliquez sur Documents, Music, Pictures or Videos link directly in menu Démarrer, it will trigger Libraries view.
This solution from Mydigitallife doesn't remove them (don't think that would be smart either) but simply hides them
Hide a Library from Navigation Pane of Windows 7 Explorer
Open Explorateur Windows, or any folder view.
If you don’t see the navigation pane, cliquez sur Organize drop down menu, then mouse over Layout et sélectionnez Navigation Pane.
Clic droit on a Library you want to make hidden, and then select Don’t show in Navigation Pane option in the contextual menu.
The shortcut link to the library will immediately be removed from and not displayed in navigation pane.
Restore and Show A Library In Navigation Pane
Open Explorateur Windows or from menu Démarrer, cliquez sur your user name to open Explorer directly at Libraries folder.
Clic droit on a library that has been hidden, but want to be added back into Navigation Pane. Select Show in Navigation Pane in the context menu to restore the library link in Navigation Pane.
The shortcut link to the library will be instantly displayed and restored to Navigation Pane.
But if you insist on them not being the default folder:
For user who doesn’t actually use Libraries, or prefer Explorateur Windows to open up My Documents, Documents, or even Computer (the highest level view that shows all drives available on the computer), this trick will set Explorateur Windows to open and show the prefer folder par défaut.
In Windows 7 menu Démarrer, clic droit on the Explorateur Windows shortcut (typically store inside All Programs -> Accessories) and then select Properties.
On Windows 7 Taskbar, hold down Shift key, and then clic droit on the Explorateur Windows icon, and then select Properties. If you already have one or more Explorateur Windows windows open, clic droit on the Explorateur Windows icon, and then clic droit on the Explorateur Windows link again to cliquez sur Properties, as illustrated below.
In the Target text box under Shortcut tab, change the value to one of the following to open either Documents or Computer par défaut.
To Make Documents as Default Folder to Open by Explorateur Windows upon Launching
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n,::{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}
To Make Computer as Default Folder to Open by Explorateur Windows upon Launching
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
- Cliquez sur OK when done.
Now, Windows 7 Explorer will open Documents or Computer directly, skipping and bypassing Libraries, depends on what you set or configure on initial run. There are more special objects and folders that Explorateur Windows can open directly to.
