GPO to Remove Network Icon From Windows 7 Navigation Pane

[FN-GM]

As more of us are deploying Windows 7 in School like me you will find something annoying about the Navigation pane. There is a "Network" icon shown are there is no built in group policy to remove this. I have found a custom ADM template that will allow us to remove it. I have attached it on this post.

 

Hope you will find it useful!

 

 

 

 

Steps on how to add an ADM template can be found here:

There's also the ADM from the thread here, also removes libraries from the side panel if you don't want them visible...
