Hide Windows Vista Hard drives !!
Hide Windows Vista Hard drives !!
Back up your registry before you start!
1. Open Regedit.
2. Navigate to one of these strings:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer - this only changes the settings for the
current logged in user
HKEY_LOCALMACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer - this changes the settings for all users on
the machine. You may have to create the key folder "Explorer" manually.
3. In the Explorer key folder, create a new DWORD value by right-clicking
Explorer, then choosing New DWORD value. Name the value "NoDrives" (without the
quotes). This value defines local and network drive visibility for each logical
drive on the computer. All drives will be visible as long as this value's data
is set to 0.
4. Following the table below, enter the decimal number corresponding to the
drive(s) you want to hide as NoDrives value data. When you right-click on
NoDrives and choose Modify, make sure you select Decimal base, not Hexadecimal.
Drive Number to hide
A: 1
B: 2
C: 4
D: 8
E: 16
F: 32
G: 64
H: 128
I: 256
J: 512
K: 1024
L: 2048

P: 32768
Q: 65536
R: 131072
S: 262144
T: 524288
U: 1048576
V: 2097152
W: 4194304
X: 8388608
Y: 16777216
Z: 33554432
All drives 67108863
If you want to hide more than one drive, you simply add the drive amounts
together for a combined total.
For example, to hide the D:/ and T:/ drives, add the decimal value for the D:/
drive to the decimal value to the T:/ drive.
8 (D) + 524288 (T) = 524296
To disable all of your visible drives, set the value to 67108863.
You must reboot your PC to see your changes.
