Windows 7 - Empty Removable Drives showing grayed out

| | Empty Removable Drives showing grayed out I have the setting as shown in the tutorial: Drives - Hide or Show Empty Drives in Computer Folder To not show empty removable drives. In My Computer the empty removable drives are visible but grayed out. I'd rather not see them at all if they are empty. The only empty drive I want visible in the DVD drive. Is there a way to fix it? In Vista it works correctly but Windows 7 it wants to show them grayed. |

| | Hmm, grayed out would seem to indicated that it is showing the empty drive letters for a memory card reader instead of hiding them. You might try one of the other options in the tutorial to hide them to see if it may work better. |

| | The one adding the DWORD NoDrives with the number did the trick. Thanks.  |
