hide drives in Windows XP and Vista

This is going to tweak your registry in windows to hide the drive letters in windows, so that normal users don't see the drive. And its completely safe, you don't have to worry about your data being damaged or something.

# Click Start -> Run type regedit in the box and click OK
# Navigate to:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
# From the menu, navigate to Edit -> New -> DWORD Value
# Name the New Value NoDrives
# 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 4.

The Values for the drives are below

A: 1, B: 2, C: 4, D: 8, E: 16, F: 32, G: 64, H: 128, I: 256, J: 512, K: 1024, L: 2048, M: 4096, N: 8192, O: 16384, P: 32768, Q: 65536, R: 131072, S: 262144, T: 524288, U: 1048576, V: 2097152, W: 4194304, X: 8388608, Y: 16777216, Z: 33554432, ALL: 67108863

You might need to restart for this to work.

No problem, Prateek.
