In the right hand pane of the Explorer key create a new DWORD value named NoDrives
Double click it and use the following guide to determine what number to enter as the decimal value data
To hide ALL drives, enter this decimal number:
67108863
which is the equivilant of 0x3FFFFFF in hex
To hide any specific drive, enter the number corresponding to your drive letter as shown in the list below:
i.e. to hide drive C: enter 4
A=1
B=2
C=4
D=8
E=16
F=32
G=64
H=128
I=256
J=512
K=1024
L: 2048
M: 4096
N: 8192
O: 16384
P: 32768
Q: 65536
R: 131072
S: 262144
T: 524288
U: 1048576
V: 2097152
W: 4194304
X: 8388608
Y: 16777216
Z: 33554432
To hide any combination of drives, simply add up the values for each drive and enter the total as your value.
For example, say you want to hide D: and G:
D=8
G=64
Total =72 which is what you would enter
Reboot or log off and log in again for the changes to take effect.
Note - this only hides your drives in My Computer and Explorer. It does not prevent someone from using the command line from accessing the drives.
