How do I remove the Dropbox icon from the Windows 10 file explorer?

Since upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10, there is a Dropbox icon in the Windows file explorer navigation pane.  I already have a link to Dropbox and other cloud-storage options in the Quick link...

No, I'd say it's clearly a Dropbox problem.  You can remove the icon from the navigation pane by editing the registry, but something consistently puts it back after a reboot - at least it does on my system.  The smoking gun points to Dropbox, as far as I am concerned.  Marking the actual Dropbox folder as hidden doesn't seem to achieve anything - it's still visible and so is the icon in the navigation pane.
