How to remove my user folder from the Vista Navigation Pane

My user folder appears immediately below Desktop in the Navigation Pane. The subfolders of my user folder are all duplicates of another subfolders and must be "linked" to these other subfolders. Proof of this is a subfolder in my user folder will disappear when I delete the same subfolder under the other folder.

So, I want to delete my user folder to eliminate duplication in the Navigation Pane. How do I do it? Just a simple deletion performed in the Navigation Pane? Thanks.

Worked like a charm. I had actually searched this forum and found this Windows 7 tutorial but didn't know enough to know whether it would work in Vista. Thanks for your quick response.
