I am having the same problem as Duracell. I can change the location of some folders and not others. Specifically my videos and downloads folders. No Location tab shows up.

How could you prevent one of these folders from being displayed? I don’t want to see the Favorites folder anymore, but when I delete it, it comes back the next time I run explorer. Is there a registry key you could change to hide it?
