Everyone have something secret document in their computers, and lot of times others are using our computer, so we quite worried about our personal data. Here I suggests you a small and easy solution for hiding any specific drives from your computer.
It’s all about registry.
Steps to hide your computer Drives
- Click on Start and open Registry Editor Program by typing “regedit “command in Run dialog box option.
- In registry editor, just double click on each folder given in below path to get explorer folder.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.
- Right click on explorer folder and select New -> Dword Value.
- Rename registry new value#1 to NoDrives .
- Double click on NoDrvies to edit (decimal) dword value.
- Here is simple game of numbers when we want to hide specific drive like for “A drive=1″, “B drive=2″, “C Drive=4″ “D Drive=8″ “E drive= 16″ and so on (making double of previous drive number).
- When we want to hide more than one drive then just add numbers of respected drives like I want to hide my “A, C and E drives (1+8+4=13)”, so I will give 13 decimal number.
This is very useful for me to keep my data secret while others are using my computer. How about you?
