PROBLEM
In ArcGIS Pro, frequently used items such as a geodatabase or a folder can be added automatically to new projects by enabling the Add To New Projects option. These items can also be prevented from being added to every new project by disabling the Add To New Projects option. In some instances, the Add To New Projects option is unavailable for the item and cannot be disabled. In this example, the option is unavailable for the ProjectFile folder that has enabled the Add to New Projects option.
The item is a favorite item. When the Add To New Projects option is enabled for an item, the item is simultaneously marked as favorite.
Follow the workaround below to disable the Add To New Projects option for an item.
