Disabling Display of Drives in My Computer.

This is yet another trick you can play with your geek friend. To disable all the display of local or networked drives when he open My Computer.

Here, I'm telling you how can hide your all derives:

So now open your registry editor window and go to :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
In the right pane create a new DWORD item and name it NoDrives. Now modify it's value and set it to 3FFFFFF (Hexadecimal) Now press F5 to refresh and logoff your windows once. And then when you open My Computer, no drives will be shown.

To enable display of drives in My Computer, simply delete this DWORD item.

Or if you want to direct access this registry with the registry file then you can copy the below code open notepad and paste it. also save with anyname with .reg extension like hidedrive.reg.

Code of  hidedrice.reg file is: 

REGEDIT4 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoDrives"=dword:03ffffff

save this file and to execute with double click on it. For seeing the effect just refresh the windows or you can logoff windows once.
