To hide your drives, follow these steps………..


Open Registry (go to run command, type "regedit" and press enter)
then
go to this key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

now right click in right side pane and create DWORD Value (blue color)
Rename it as "NoViewOnDrive" (for locking drive)
or
Rename it as "NoDrives" (for Hiding drive)
double click on it and put some numbers to lock ur desired Drive and click ok.

DRIVE NOS.
FOR A : 1
FOR C : 4
FOR D : 8
FOR E : 16
FOR F : 32

finally restart or log-off the computer to take effect.
Keep in mind that "0" is Default Value to Disable or remove this setting..
After locking the drive when u try to open it, u will see a msgbox like this

To remove the restrictions, follow the reverse process and delete the DWORD file created earlier…………….
