Don't want people to look at your hard drive data? No encryption, there is another way.
The first trick: Modify the registry to hide the logical hard drive
1. Hide the disk drive icon in My Computer
Action steps are as follows:
① "Start" → "run" enter regedit, open Registry Editor.
② into the HKEY_CURRENT_USER SoftWare Microsoft Windows currentversion Policies Explorer branch.
③ the key value for a new binary value in the right window is named "NoDrives", disk drive one by one corresponds to the following key values: A drive is "01000000", B drive is "02000000", C drive is "04000000", D drive is "08000000", E drive is " 10000000 ", F drive is" 20000000 ". That is, the disk drive in alphabetical order (A-Z) from the 16 to twice times the number of increments. Assign the key value of the disk drive you want to hide to "NoDrives" in hexadecimal, so that you hide the drive you want to hide from my computer.
After this operation, it is still possible to enter MS-DOS mode. So we also want to hide the disk drives under MS-DOS mode.
2, hide the "MS-dos mode" under the disk drive
Action steps are as follows:
① "Start" → "run" enter regedit, open Registry Editor.
② into HKEY_CURRENT_USER SoftWare the Microsoft Windows currentversion Policies Branch.
③ creates a new primary key "Winoldapp" in the branch, under which the key value name "Disabled" for a DWORD value is created, and the key value is set to "1".
So, whether in the "My Computer", or "MS-DOS" mode can not see, how cool it is! However, anyone who knows the registration form can not fool him.
second trick: use PartitionMagic to hide hard drive
I believe that the PartitionMagic software will not be too unfamiliar to it, it does not destroy the hard disk data in the case of the hard drive is really very good function. But did you ever think of using it to hide your hard drive? Let's try it!
