How to Disable “Libraries” Feature in Windows 7

I am sure this is not the tweak a forum member mentioned, but did not post his tweak, however this should do the same thing and appears to be less effort.

After following this tutorial, "Libraries" feature will be disabled in Windows 7 and its icon will also be removed from Explorer and Start menu.
 
You just need to run a small Registry script to disable it. Download following ZIP file, extract it and run the "Disable Libraries in Windows 7.REG" file:


After running the .REG file, log off or restart your system and you'll no longer see Libraries icon in Windows Explorer:


If you don't want to disable complete "Libraries" feature but only want to remove its icon from Explorer, then run "Only Remove Libraries Icon from Windows 7 Explorer.reg" file.
 
PS: There is also a restore script available in case you want to restore Libraries.
