File Explorer has many options to customize how you find files and folders. There are also some hidden features we can enable. In this tutorial, we're going to add a User folder to the Navigation Pane.

Here is how File Explorer will look after applying these registry files.

Download Add or Remove User Folder in File Explorer Navigation Pane and extract the files:

Double-click Add Inherited Permissions Context Menu.reg or Add Inherited Permissions Context Menu With Pause.reg to add Inherited Permissions Context Menu.

Click Yes when prompted by User Account Control.
