How To Hide Any Drive Through Regedit

You can hide any drive with a simple registry edit, by following the below steps -
1. Go to Start Menu > Run (WIN+R) > Type regedit and press enter, to launch Registry Editor.
2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
3. Right click on Policies > New > Key and rename it to Explorer (If Explorer Key is not there)


3. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
4. Now Right click on the right side pane and click on New > DWORD value and rename it as NoDrives

5. Now suppose you want to hide C drive, so right click on NoDrives > Modify

Change the Base Type to Decimal and Value Data to 4 (for C drive)

Similarly, for hiding other drives use different Value data from the below table-

To hide drive A and drive D, you would add 1 (A) + 8 (D) which means the value should be set to “9″.

6. Log Off and Log In back to see changes.
