File Explorer left pane

Hello. Would anyone here know if there are any registry tweaks I can do
to make File Explorer's left pane only feature the folders that come
under This PC (Documents, Videos, Downloads, Pictures, Music, Local Disk
and pendrives), in other words no onedrive or quick access. I'd just
like to de-clutter a bit if possible so I'm not endlessly scrolling
through it all, and the settings don't allow enough tweaking. It seems
to me that File Explorer doesn't remember 'how we like it' too, between
uses. I'd just like to open FE and see it doing what for example Linux
Mint's Nemo does and to be consistent about it. Any chance of this?

Thanks.

What I've done on my computer is:

Open File Explorer
Click view
Click Navigation Pane and Uncheck the Navigation Pane option.

I can tell you how to get rid of One Drive.

Open the registry editor and navigate to this key...

HKCU\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}

In that key, there will be a DWORD value called...

System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree

It should say "0x00000001." Set it to "0x00000000" and One-drive
disappears from that user's explorer pane.

There are similar keys for Adobe Creative Cloud and others, just search
on System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree, and it should turn up the others.

Unfortunately, that no longer works with the Anniversary update.

Hmm. I'm running Anniversary update, pro x64. Fully patched.

I don't see One Drive on the folder pane. Creative Cloud is gone too. I
set both of them to "0."

Don't know what I did right, but it works here.

Windows 10 AE current on all updates

I don't know what I did but One Drive does not appear in File Explorer.
I went into the settings and control panel and turned off every thing
that appeared to be associated with One Drive.
