tonycorallo Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Since upgrading to version 2.0.120 on Windows 8.1, a link to the BitTorrent Sync folder keeps appearing in the Favorites folders list in Windows Explorer. Whenever I remove the link, it reappears on restart. How do I make it stop? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btsyncuser123 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Hi there, I experienced the same problem with the reappearing BitTorrent Sync icon in the Favorites list of the Windows Explorer. Deleting it and a reinstallation of BitTorrent Sync didn't help What worked for me: In the Windows registry, there are some entries under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BitTorrent\Sync] - (Standard)- ShellExtensionPath64- ShellExtensionPath86- ShellMenuSharingEnable In my case, there was another entry called: "StoragePath" I removed the "StoragePath" entry and the icon from the favorites. Since then it didn't reappear. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

himselfv Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I also have this problem. Who thought it would be a good idea to force the folder on the users? I don't even have anything there. Please make this optional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entropyeater Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Hi, Thanks for finding this! It was definitely not our intention to force this on you, or to have it reappear if you remove it. Thanks for finding a workaround while we are working on a fix. Daniel ErwinSync Design Lead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 @all, Sync 2.1.2 should resolve this issue - please update and report back if you're still unable to remove Sync from favorites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apesbrain Posted July 23, 2022 Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 This behavior seems to have returned in v.2.7.2 (1365) on Windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
