Add custom folders in This PC in Windows 10/8.1 or remove the defaults

This PC Tweaker allows you now:

• to add any folder to the This PC Folder
• to remove any folder from This PC
• to change the icon for any folder in This PC
• to add some shell location like God Mode or Recycle Bin inside the This PC Folder.

Note that you cannot change the icon of special shell locations added to This PC. You can only change the icons of custom folders you add yourselves. I designed it this way intentionally to prevent you from breaking folders like Control Panel.
Follow the simple instructions below to customize your This PC folder.
