If you don't want other users stumbling over a drive while browsing the computer through Explorer, this tweak may help out.
Although this tweak will render the drive invisible in Windows Explorer, it will still be accessible through Windows� search utility, as well as other third-party file managing applications.
Microsoft Office applications will also be able to access the cloaked drive with no problem.
To cloak a drive, open up regedit and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies/Explorer.
Create/modify the DWORD value "NoDrives" to match a corresponding drive letter you wish to hide.
A: 1; B: 2; C: 4; D: 8; E: 16; F: 32; G: 64; H: 128; I: 256; J: 512; etc. To hide multiple drives, just add the values together and enter the sum as the value for the DWORD value �NoDrives�.
To hide all the drives, just enter the value 67108863.
Hope it is useful for u..
