Add User Profile folder to Navigation Pane of Explorer
You can add the user folder to the navigation pane in two different ways: Let’s check both options.
1] Using Registry Editor
Before trying these steps, you should backup Registry, just in case. Now follow these steps: Use Win+R hotkey to open the Run Command box, type regedit, and press Enter key to open Registry Editor. If you want, you can try some other ways to open Registry Editor. After this, access the CLSID Registry key. Here is the path:
Right-click on the CLSID key, access New and use the Key option. This will create a new key. Rename that key to: Under that key, create a System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree value, as visible in the screenshot below. For this, right-click on an empty area, select the New menu and click on the DWORD (32-bit) Value option. After that, rename that value.
Double-click on the value you created and you will see a small window. There, put 1 in the Value data, and press OK.
Now just restart File Explorer. After that, when you will open File Explorer, you will see that the user folder is added to the navigation pane with all the locations present in that folder. Click on any location and you can view all the files and folders.
To remove or disable the user profile folder from the navigation pane, simply follow the above steps and delete {59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee} key. Restart File Explorer to apply the changes.
