Remove fhe file explorer (file manager) Windows flag logo (AKA a "throbber")

The window flag logo in the file explorer has to be among the most annoying of annoyances.
It's always there, reminding me of the incessant corporate quest to establish a franchise
in my mind (where did I read this again?).
Anyway a casual search on annoyances did not return anything. I tried the keywords
"file explorer logo" "file explorer flag" and combinations of those to no result.
Maybe I am missing something obvious. But it turns out that thing is called a "throbber",
which I discovered in a general web search. It can be disabled through a registry
patch. I used the following, which were enclosed in a file called ShellThrobOff.reg:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\ShellBrowser]
"ITBarLayout"=hex:0c,00,00,00,4c,00,00,00,74,00,00,00,1a,00,00,00,10,00,00,00,\
17,00,00,00,05,00,00,00,6a,00,00,00,26,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,e0,00,00,00,56,\
00,00,00,02,00,00,00,29,00,00,00,57,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,a8,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,04,00,00,00,09,00,00,00,55,01,00,00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\Explorer]

That's great,but why would you take a chance of nailing the reg file for a SMALL
thing like a logo.
To ea.his own I guess..
They got you (corporate franchise) when you paid for the software.
It's like going around your car and poping off all the embles on it. (why) it's no
big deal.
Have a good one.
