Sorry, I should have eliminated the unnecessary interference. Let me try this again:

For example, when ShowSpecFolderDocuments is equal to 0, and you change the registry value "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Persponal" from "%USERPROFILE%\Documents" to E:\abc, and you have E:\abc in your rapid share, the tree will only expand under "This PC" instead of the rapid share tree node.

This has nothing to do with the name itself, but only the fact that ShowSpecFolderDocuments is equal to 0, and "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Persponal" is rerouted. It is not a name collision per se.

My apologies once again, I am also gradually figuring this out myself.

BTW this behavior is confirmed under 26.10.0200.

Thanks for fixing it!

I downloaded 26.10.0201, imported my config, and tried it again, it works as intended, expanding tree under the rapid access node!

My OCD is cured, I am so happy :party:
