Some system objects, such as system functions and system data types, aren't affected by this setting.
Use SQL Server Management Studio
On the Tools menu, select Options.
On the Environment/Startup page, select Hide system objects in Object Explorer, and then select OK.
In the SQL Server Management Studio dialog box, select OK to acknowledge that SQL Server Management Studio must be restarted for this change to take effect.
Close and reopen SQL Server Management Studio.
