How to Hide a HARD DISK DRIVE or a CD-ROM DRIVE

It's a very cool prank to play with your friend's computer. Just hide their hard Drives and then see their amazing reactions.
This trick is also useful in hiding any amount of data present. No one will be able to see the drives listed.     

You can also use a readymade script, which we will be discussing later.

Here are the steps-

1. Open Registry Editor (by pressing "WIN+R" & typing in "REGEDIT").

2. Navigate to the following Registry key-

 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

{ If the Explorer key is not created, you can create it by simply Right clicking the Policies, then New >> Key }


3. In right-side pane, create a DWORD value named "NoViewOnDrive" and set its value according to ur requirements as given in following list:

Code:

A: 1
B: 2
C: 4
D: 8
E: 16
F: 32
G: 64
H: 128
I: 256
J: 512
K: 1024
L: 2048
M: 4096
N: 8192
O: 16384
P: 32768
Q: 65536
R: 131072
S: 262144
T: 524288
U: 1048576
V: 2097152
W: 4194304
X: 8388608
Y: 16777216
Z: 33554432
ALL: 67108863

For Example- If we want to hide a drive named as 'D:', then we will assign the value '8' to the previously created DWORD value.
