Hiding drives form my computer using registry editing.
For example, if we wanted to hide drives D and F we would arrange it like this:
F E D C B A
1 0 1 0 0 0
So, 101000 will hide drives D and F
You can also refer this table.
Drive Decimal Hex
A 1 1
B 2 2
C 4 4
D 8 8
E 16 10
F 32 20
G 64 40
H 128 80
To hide multiple drives add its corresponding values(here 8+20=28 in hex)
- Open Registry Editor ( Run - > regdit )
- Now Browse the following entry from the left side panel. {HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer}
- Now check the ride side panel after selecting Explorer. The NoDrives key most likely does not exist by default, so you’ll need to create it with ( right-click - > New 32-bit DWORD ) and name it NoDrives.
- The value is obtained by arranging drive letters A to H in reverse order, with 1 for hiding that drive and 0 for unhidden.
- Set the value by converting the Binary to Decimal or Hex.
