How to hide drive letters

1. Open the registry and go to the following path:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesExplorer

Create a new key value NoDrives. The value of NoDrives consists of four bytes. The default value is "00 00 00", indicating that no drive letter is hidden; if you change its value to "FF", all drive letters are hidden. Specifically, the first byte of the NoDrives value can represent eight drive letters A to H, represented by 01, 02, 04, 08, 10, 20, 40, and 80 respectively; the other three bytes can represent the drive letters I to Z respectively. To hide an edisk, assign "10 00 00 00" to NoDrives and "OK" to exit. If you want to hide multiple drive letters at the same time, you only need to add the binary values corresponding to these drive letters. For example, "19 00 00" indicates that three drive letters A, D, and E are hidden at the same time.

If it is restored, just change it back.
