Re: Hiding an entire hard drive from "My Computer"



Papa, these tricks cost nothing and are easy to apply. I tried first &
second, both are easy to do, but the second trick is applied through the
Group Editor snap-in, which is not available in XP Home Edition.. by this
method you can access the drive it's just hidden to other users. If you
have the Home Edition, apply the first tweak, just make a note of the steps
to hide and unhide it when you need because it becomes unaccesible to you as
long as it is hidden.

This one costs nothing and is very easy to apply.

This applies to XP Pro Edition or Vista, not to XP Home, may apply also to
Win2K and Server 2003.

This one requires TweakUI, or editing the registry which seems a bit
complicated.

On my home computer I have two hard drives, one for general use and
the
other
for storing all my programs.

I'd like to make that drive invisible to the kids as my grandchildren
are
getting at
that age where they like to "try things out".

Is there a way of password protecting an entire drive, or hiding it
from
view?

Many thanks,

Papa
