137990 2003-04-23 00:46:00 I've found a "tweak" which will let me hide disk drives on a particular computer. I just want to know if anyoe has tried anything similar, and if it worked. Also, does it hide the drives from the Open and Save/Save as dialog boxes? somebody (208)
137991 2003-04-23 01:11:00 Howd u do it? promethius (1998)
137992 2003-04-23 01:17:00 Can be done via 3rd party software, or a registry tweak. I haven't done it yet, so I don't know if it works. somebody (208)
137993 2003-04-23 01:26:00 Or PartitionMagic, or other HDD tools. They actually make sure that an OS doesn't know the drive is there, not just hide it from view. agent (30)
137994 2003-04-23 01:32:00 with my tweak it isn't physically gone - it's just hidden from My Computer. It can still be accessed via "other' methods.

I was wondering... what if I hid C Drive? Would windows still boot up?

137995 2003-04-23 01:42:00 Most likely, as Windows could still read off it. You could probably still type C:\ into the Run prompt, and access it. agent (30)
137996 2003-04-23 01:42:00 yes you can do that useing tweakUI. yes it will still boot up as windows knows its there, it just won't display it in explorer. tweak'e (174)
137997 2003-04-23 01:47:00 Yes. It does just hide it from Windows Explorer. I didn't try Dos prompt or Run prompt or anything like that... I was just curious after finding the tweak the other day. somebody (208)
