@Brink I have compiled my knowledge - assisted by Claude AI - into a concise technical guide on creating arbitrary objects in the Explorer navigation pane / “This PC” (including the relevant registry keys and behavior). Repository link: Nilesoft-Shell-Snippets/ext.others/treeview.guide.md at...

I'm looking for enthusiasts to experiment with Nilesoft Shell script. https://github.com/RubicBG/Nilesoft-Shell-Snippets/blob/main/ext.others/treeview.advance.md I'll probably finish it the next time I reinstall Windows, but it still works satisfactorily for me - Have fun!

I looked at your script - good work. I also tested it with the tabs - it restores them as a new window with scrolling position and object selection only. But I often have to restart explorer.exe so that Windows launches a fresh instance of the shell process (shell processes are the main target)...
