How To Hide A Drive Letter In Window XP



In the following tutorial, I explain how to hide a drive or drive letter from being displayed in My Computer. This is useful if you don't want just any average user to be able to easily detect, access and navigate a hard disk that is attached to your system. 

How I Do This?

1.Click Start and goto Run type regedit in the box and click OK.

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

3. From the menu, navigate to Edit goto New and goto DWORD Value.

4.Name the New Value NoDrives.

5.Next, Right click NoDrives and select Modify, now check the Decimal option and under Value Data enter a decimal value for the drive you would like to hide. For example to hide C you would enter.

6. See the list below for more values:

A=1
B=2
C=4
D=8
E=16
F=32
G=64
H=128
I=256

7.Click OK once finished and restart your PC to verify the drive letter is no longer displayed.
