Hide the drive letter + easy to browse there is such a trick

Xiao Bian is discovered, you know, the computer can't show too many things to people. Everyone asks every day how to hide files. I remember that before, I used software to hide drive letters, or set up hidden files in the Windows system. It seems like the only way was to use the registry directly. Oh, I've been neglecting my duties for a while, so I decided to solve this today.

If you want to hide a drive letter using the registry, it's different from previous methods. You must start the Registry Editor with an administrator account (or log in directly as Administrator). Press Win+R, type "regedit", and open the Registry Editor. Then navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Create a new DWORD (32-bit) value named "NoDrives" on the right side.

The next step is crucial. To hide a drive letter, you need to enter the correct numerical value. It's not just about typing A, B, C, or D. Instead, you need to convert the base number to decimal and use the corresponding value from the list 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

After restarting or logging off your account, the drive you wanted to hide will be completely gone. Some people say this method is more convenient than others. For example, if you type E:\ in the Explorer window, you can directly access it without going back and forth between hiding and unhiding options. That’s pretty useful, right?

However, it should be noted that un-hiding can be done easily without deleting the key. Simply change the value of "NoDrives" back to "0" to undo the changes. This is the proper way to reverse the process.
