HIDE YOUR DRIVES!

To prevent a drive or any combination of drives from appearing in My Computer, Windows Explorer and/or Internet Explorer, for security purposes in a multiuser environment,
This works with all Windows 95/98/NT4/2000/ME/XP/vista releases.
if you own the computer or have Administrator privileges, add/modify the "NoDrives" (don't type the quotation marks) Binary [REG_BINARY] hex or DWORD [REG_DWORD] value under this Registry key, using Regedit:

Code:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ExplorerGive it a value from the list below to hide the individual drive(s) of your choice (don't type the spaces for Binary):
Format:
Code:Drive Letter ---> Binary Value ---> DWORD Value
A ---> 01 00 00 00 ---> 00000001 B ---> 02 00 00 00 ---> 00000002 C ---> 04 00 00 00 ---> 00000004 D ---> 08 00 00 00 ---> 00000008 E ---> 10 00 00 00 ---> 00000010 F ---> 20 00 00 00 ---> 00000020 G ---> 40 00 00 00 ---> 00000040 H ---> 80 00 00 00 ---> 00000080 I ---> 00 01 00 00 ---> 00000100 J ---> 00 02 00 00 ---> 00000200 K ---> 00 04 00 00 ---> 00000400 L ---> 00 08 00 00 ---> 00000800 M ---> 00 10 00 00 ---> 00001000 N ---> 00 20 00 00 ---> 00002000 O ---> 00 40 00 00 ---> 00004000 P ---> 00 80 00 00 ---> 00008000 Q ---> 00 00 01 00 ---> 00010000 R ---> 00 00 02 00 ---> 00020000 S ---> 00 00 04 00 ---> 00040000 T ---> 00 00 08 00 ---> 00080000 U ---> 00 00 10 00 ---> 00100000 V ---> 00 00 20 00 ---> 00200000 W ---> 00 00 40 00 ---> 00400000 X ---> 00 00 80 00 ---> 00800000 Y ---> 00 00 00 01 ---> 01000000 Z ---> 00 00 00 02 ---> 02000000
Example:
Code:To hide drives D, E, Y and Z give "NoDrives" this Binary value:
18 00 00 03
Where: D + E = 18 and Y + Z = 03 (cumulative values).
NOTE: These numbers are in HEXadecimal. Example: to hide drives A, B, C and D, use 0F, NOT 15, when cumulating multiple drives.
Show all drives (A to Z) "NoDrives" Binary value:
00 00 00 00
Hide all drives (A to Z) "NoDrives" Binary value:
ff ff ff 03You can also do this by using TweakUI, one of the Microsoft Power Toys for Windows 9x/NT4/2000/ME + MS IE 4/5/6 [110 KB, free, unsupported].Use TweakUI with caution,ONLY AFTER BACKING UP YOUR REGISTRY!
Open Control Panel -> TweakUI -> My Computer tab -> check to show or uncheck to hide the desired drive boxes -> click OK/Apply.Windows default is to show ALL local and remote (network) drives: A to Z.
