I'm trying to see what a tweak (Configure > Settings > Explorer > Navigation pane - Network) does under the hood so I can try to reverse it on the live OS.

The exported preset .xml doesn't seem to have it.

If this is secret information can someone tell me how to reverse the above tweak? Thanks.

Edit: Also please "Configure > Settings > Start Menu > Folder - Network". Apparently that is controlled by Group Policy(?) but I can't seem to find the policy.

From memory, it's to hide or show "Network" in the Navigation Pane. Enable it for show "Network"
Default is to show it (default setting)

Oh I know that. I'm trying to enable network in the navigation pane (on the live OS) again but I don't know how lol.

Literally just discovered you can edit the live OS from the image list. My bad. Wow.

I prefer live edits more so then iso edits. Don't get me wrong iso edits help in making sure that some stuff never gets on my computer but less things bugger up when doing live I find.
 
"How to see what a tweak is doing under the hood?"

1. Load an image.
2. Select a single tweak.
3. Don't Apply, but save the current session to a preset.
4. From the Images / Preset pane -> Edit XML

5. Scroll down to the tweaks block.
Code: 
            <TweakGroup name="Explorer">
                <Tweak name="{F02C1A0D-BE21-4350-88B0-7367FC96EF3C}\ShellFolder\Attributes">-1332477852</Tweak>
            </TweakGroup>

6. Search online for guides on reg key "{F02C1A0D-BE21-4350-88B0-7367FC96EF3C}\ShellFolder\Attributes".

7. To convert NTLite's reg value -1332477852 back into hexadecimal bytes:
Code: 
powershell '{0:x8}' -f -1332477852
b0940064

Now you know what NTLite is updating.
