Remove Unwanted Icon from My Computer



You must have noticed those icons like "Nokia Phone Browser", "Sony Ericsson Mobile" etc. whenever you install a Mobilephone PC Suite, or when you've connected a bluetooth device. They may be convenient but sometimes you may like to remove them permanently form "My Computer".
This can be easily accomplished by the following registry hack:

1. Open Start menu(or Run) and type Regedit.exe and press enter.
A Window will pop open as shown under:
reg

2. Now Navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace


3. Click on the member keys of Namespace and on the right side pane you will see their names. Just right click on the key and select "Delete" or simply press the "DEL" key.
