Have you got some sensitive information or apps that you don't want other people who might access your computer to see? Put them all on one drive and then hide the drive!

Follow these steps:

1. Launch the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).

2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.

3. Right-click the Servers key, and select New | DWORD value.

4. Name the value NoDrives.

5. Press [Enter] twice to open the Edit DWORD Value dialog box.

6. Using the list below, type a number that corresponds to the drive you

want to hide in the Value Data text box, and click OK.
A: 1
B: 2
C: 4
D: 8
E: 16
F: 32

7. Close the Registry Editor.

You must restart the system or log out of Windows XP in order for the
change to take effect.

To hide other drive letters not listed here, follow the pattern of
doubling the number for each successive drive. For example, drive G: would
have a value of 64.

To hide multiple drives, add the values together. For example, to hide
drives A: and B:, use a value of 3. If you want to hide all drive letters,
use a value of 67108864.

NOTE: Editing the registry is risky, so be sure you have a verified
backup before making any changes.
