HIDE DRIVES AND PARTITIONS

HIDE DRIVES AND PARTITIONS

Open the Registry Editor by going to Start/Run and typing in "regedit" (without the quotes). Find your way to...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mcft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
Click on "Explorer".
Just right-click in the right pane and choose "New/DWORD Value" then name the key "NoDrives". And open this set value data=”corresponding drive value”,base=decimal
The values for each drive are as follows:
1 - A I Q Y 2 - B J R Z
4 - C K S 8 - D L T
16 - E M U 32 - F N V
64 - G O W 80 - H P X
If you want to hide more than one drive in a column? Simply add the values together: D+E = 8+16 = 24. So set value data="24", base=”decimal”. Press ok. (“Noviewondrive” used to lock the drive)
Note: if every operation completed in one restart or logoff
In other possibilities (set to all operation value data=”1”, base=”decimal”)
