Hi,
Settings > Personalization > Start > Choose which folder appear on Start
I need to enable ONLY the following ones:

File Explorer
Settings
Documents
Downloads
Personal Folder

As usual via registry!
In Windows 7 the key was:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]

For example: "Start_ShowDownloads"=dword:00000001
But in Windows 10 registry address is changed I think.
Anyone knows the new address?
Thanks in advance.

You can do that natively in windows 10 by following what you've posted as I have.

In the notification area click the notification icon, all settings, personalization, start, then choose what folders to appear on start, then toggle on/off the folders you want to be shown.

But why the registry? The result is the same and much safer....one wrong registry key input and saved....system can be render unusable.

Maybe someone will come along with a registry hack for it.
