Any ideas how to fix these grievances with W11 Explorer

First of all this, it looks like the old namespace trick from 10 is no longer valid, it was twice as bad, as these were duplicated under home, and I got rid of home via a namespace, but the rest dont seem to have one, so still need to get rid of these, or at the very least move them to bottom of list.

Next I noticed the icon on the taskbar changes depending on which folder I am in, so its not consistent for an explorer window, I would like to change it to a static image. It will match the icon of the path I am in.
 
I did it, with some fiddling, I started looking for the enable show library option to do what you suggested, and then decided to untick show all folders.

Then a pin icon appeared next to each of them, and I right clicked and selected unpin from quick access. Not exactly intuitive, but its good its possible to clean up.

I got gallery still lingering up there by itself now, but I think winaerotweaker can kill that one. Even if I leave it, its clean enough now.

The second issue, with the icon changing seems to be a problem that is introduced by startisback, and not native to Windows 11, so I guess thats for me to submit a bug report to that dev or figure something out there, getting there one step at a time with this OS. :) Thanks as always.

I will remove some libraries as well, but not all of them as I like the feature.

Nice bug :) 11 Feels like 10 in its infancy, with mismash UI and stuff.

This menu where the items that dont do anything when you click on them appears when toggling show all folders on/off, it fixes itself when closing and reopening the explorer window. (no explorerpatch/startisback/start11 installed).

Thanks to help from others in other threads and also checking documentation, I now have both startallback and start11 silent installing, the former import registry, the latter no auto settings import, but can do a easy settings restore from backup and also can auto silently activate.
I have solved most issues on 11 I have found so far, so getting there.

24H2 is weird like 10 1809 was though, it ignores GPO stuff for defender, and not only ignores it, it has been actually toggling settings to default. (tamper protection off)
