Disable OneDrive in Windows 10

Are you also irritated by the OneDrive icon found in the navigation tree in explorer? If you never use OneDrive, here are two easy-to-use PowerShell functions that let you hide (and show again) the OneDrive icons in explorer:

function Disable-OneDrive
{
    $regkey1 = 'Registry::HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}'
    $regkey2 = 'Registry::HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}'
    Set-ItemProperty -Path $regkey1, $regkey2 -Name System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree -Value 0
}


function Enable-OneDrive
{
    $regkey1 = 'Registry::HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}'
    $regkey2 = 'Registry::HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}'    
    Set-ItemProperty -Path $regkey1, $regkey2 -Name System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree -Value 1
}

There is no restart required. The changes take effect immediately.
