A simple way to hide a U disk

a simple way to hide a U disk

Many times we do not want to let others in our computer to see U disk data, but can not completely prohibit the use of U disk, in order to achieve this goal, we can drive the disk letter hidden away, to see the specific steps:

First, we open Registry Editor, expand the following branch [Hkey_current_user/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/policies/explorer], and create a new binary value. NoDrives, the default value is 00000000, which means that no drives are hidden. The key value consists of four bytes, each bit of each byte corresponds to a disk from a: to Z: When the corresponding bit is 1 o'clock, the corresponding drive in My computer is hidden. The first byte represents 8 disks from A to H, that is, 01 is a,02 b,04 for C ... By analogy, the second byte represents I to P, the third byte represents Q to X, and the fourth byte represents Y and Z. For example, to close the C disk, the key value to 04000000, to turn off D, to 08000000, to close the C and D disk, then to 0c000000 (c is hexadecimal, turn into decimal is 12).

After understanding the principle, let's take a computer as an example to illustrate how to: This computer has a hard disk (5 partitions), an optical drive, the letter distribution is as follows: C:, D:, E:, F:, G:, H: (CD-ROM), so my "NoDrives" value is "02ffffff", hide the B, I to Z disk.

Restart the computer, and then insert a U disk, in the "My Computer" can not be seen, but in the address bar input I: (My computer after a letter is h) or access to the mobile disk. Here everyone can see "NoDrives" is just a camouflage, so we have to do one more step, is to create a new binary "noviewondrive", the value changed to "02ffffff", that is, its value and "NoDrives" the same. As a result, can not see the U-disk and can not access the U disk.
