[SOLVED] How do I remove the Personal File Sharing banner in Nautilus?

I do not, and will not, use this feature. This banner to open the configuration is just using up space.

I am sure that this is very simple but I can't seem to figure out how to get the bugger off of Nautilus.

AFAIK, the only directories with that banner are Public and Downloads. Try renaming them so that they don't have a capital initial letter. You will have to edit your Firefox prefs to change the default download location, because it will create a new Downloads folder on start up.

I actually did that to one of them. It just seems to be a crude way to do things. Could be that is all that can be done.

Thanks, I will just do that to the other one too.

Alternatively you could uninstall the program that causes it to be there:

gnome-user-share

I don't yet know if it affects torrent style sharing or files/folders to be moved between machines on a lan or any of that so... there ya go. Also I had to reboot after removing it for it to go away.

Thanks for the reply. It caused me to realize that I had not marked this as solved. I will do so forth with.
