Make your Drive disappear in Windows Vista

Posted On Aug 18, 2008

Today I'm going to share a simple tutorial with you all. It will tell you how you can hide a Drive in Windows Vista. This will be helpful to you in case u want to hide your personal stuff from others, just put all that stuff in a drive and make it disappear .There may exist some third-party tools but this tutorial is as simple as any other thing could be.

Here's how u can do this>>>

  • Click on Start button, type gpedit.msc in the search box and press Enter
  • Click on Continue to bypass the UAC prompt.
  • In the left pane, navigate to User Configuration>> Administrative Templates>> Windows Components>>Windows Explorer.
  • In the right pane of the window double-click on Hide these specified drives in My Computer
  • In the dialog box that appears click on Enabled.
  • Select the drives you wish to hide from the drop-down menu given just below in the same dialog box
  • Click on Apply and OK and then close the Local Group Policy Editor.
  • To check if it worked or not you can open up My Computer and see if the drive that you selected to hide is there or not.
