Hey there, not sure where to put this so i send it in general. I have used MegaSync and everytime i choose to save a folder, it creates a shortcut for it in explorer pref pane. Unfortunately, it's not one of those you can right clic and "remove from pane". There's basically no option to remove it when i right click it. So i guess i gotta go in regedit. But where?

Good idea, i just did and found few things, but i have 5 ENTRIES in the pref pane, ALL with same name (but pointing at different locations) and i ONLY GOT 3 in search result. Also not sure it's the right location (Ordinateur\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\WOW6432Node\CLSID\xxxxxxxx); would like not to delete the wrong target! So i definitely need some help here :)

By pref pane, you mean the Explorer Navigation Pane, correct?

Something suspicious about that, as if it's creating a fresh Home folder every time you save something!

Thanks Edwin, that helped! I guess they need to fix the app so that it ONLY keeps the currently saved folders and not ALL those saved in the past and then removed.
