Derek,
I can find 25 references to deleting this key to get rid of Shared
Documents. I can't find what this key should contain.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
MyComputer\NameSpace\DelegateFolders\{59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}]

TweakUI uses this key...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer
To add Files stored on this computer to My Computer.
"NoSharedDocuments"=hex:00,00,00,00
To remove Files stored on this computer from My Computer.

Remove Shared Documents from My Computer
[[Removes the Shared Documents folders from My Computer.
When a Windows client in is a workgroup, a Shared Documents icon appears in
the Windows Explorer Web view under "Other Places" and also under "Files
Stored on This Computer" in My Computer. Using this policy setting, you can
choose not to have these items displayed.
If you enable this setting, the Shared Documents folders is not displayed in
the Web view or in My Computer.
If you disable or do not configure this setting, the Shared Documents
folders is displayed in Web view and also in My Computer when the client is
part of a workgroup.]]
The Not Configured setting removes NoSharedDocuments from...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer
The Enabled setting adds "NoSharedDocuments"=dword:00000001 to...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer
Beats me. ;-(
