Don't show frequent folders in Quick Access

PrivacySafe riskReversible

Sets ShowFrequent = 0 under Explorer\Advanced. Stops Quick Access / Home from surfacing your most-used folders. Same privacy benefit as hiding recent files — your folder habits aren't displayed, and Explorer stops tracking frequency. Reversible.
