Hello people
Beware of system administrators with WSL!
By the way, simply removing a view from the explorer doesn't really do much.
Any user after installing the WSL subsystem for Linux can configure himself as root (sudo), and this does not depend on the user account that he has in Windows.
Now, with a little trick, you can add a lot of Linux GUI desktop tools to WSL (you need to install an X server that runs Windows (VcXsrv or XMming - I prefer VcXsrv), and then install samba - now you can access any hard drive on your local Windows system, regardless of your level privileges (this is a security loophole that needs to be fixed) or even over the network - although shared hard drives on the network will need the proper level of read/write privileges.

Hey there! Thanks for sharing this tutorial on how to add or remove Linux in the navigation pane of File Explorer in Windows 10. It's always great to have more options for using Linux alongside Windows. I see that sometimes the best information can be found in older discussions.On a related note, if you're interested in extending the support for CentOS 7, you might find this link helpful: https://tuxcare.com/extended-lifecycle-support/centos-7-extended-support/. It provides extended security updates and patches for CentOS 7, even after the end-of-life date has passed.Anyway, thanks again for sharing this tutorial!
