We frequently store diagnostic tools and information that we'd like to hide on a seperate partition. You can do this using TweakUI from Microsoft, but I prefer just doing it myself since it's easy enough.
This can be done with a simple registry edit if you don't want to use the TweakUI program from Microsoft or any other third-party program.
Follow these steps:
1. Start --> Run --> type regedit.exe
2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
3. Right-click the Servers key, and select New | DWORD value.
4. Name the value NoDrives.
5. Press [Enter] twice to open the Edit DWORD Value dialog box.
6. Using the list below, type a number that corresponds to the drive you want to hide in the Value Data text box, and click OK.
A: = 1
B: = 2
C: = 4
D: = 8
E: = 16
F: = 32
7. Log out and log back on for the changes to take effect.
If you want to hide drive G the number is 64 and to hide drive H the number is 128. For each letter after you double the number. To hide both drive A and B use 3 which is both 2 and 1 added. To hide A, B, C AND F you add those numbers together (1+2+4+32=39).
