For Windows 11 users frustrated with the recent influx of ads, OFGB (Oh Frick Go Back) is a straightforward GUI tool designed to remove advertisements from various parts of the operating system. Developed in response to Microsoft's April 2024 update that introduced ads to the File Explorer, Start Menu, and other areas, OFGB offers a simple solution to disable these ads by modifying specific Windows Registry keys.

Key Features

OFGB is written in C# and utilizes WPF for its interface. The tool allows users to easily select and disable ads in multiple areas, including File Explorer, Lock Screen, Settings, and Start Menu, among others.

Usage

To use OFGB, users can download the latest version from the GitHub releases page. The tool provides a user-friendly interface where users can check the boxes next to the ad locations they wish to disable. Some changes may require a system restart to take effect.

Development

OFGB's development credits go to Shawn Brink for his initial registry keys and script, and Aldaviva for parts of the theme used in the application. The project is open-source, and contributions are encouraged through GitHub issues or discussions.
