It is not a bug. Just do as the gurus told you above.
Check Hide empty drives in the Computer folder in Control Panel > Folder Options > View.

Dude, mine already has a tick next to that option you have highlighted, and the drives STILL appear, hence me thinking this is a bug.
Are the card slots built in to the Computer, or are they on a USB?
FWIW my PC's empty card slots don't appear.
But the ones on my card readers do, if I plug one in.
They are built into the computer
i could see how annoying it would be! i've got a multimedia card reader on my rig mounted in a floppy bay on one of the motherboard's usb headers like qdos is saying, but my drives only show up if theres a card in it...just check 'Don't show hidden files, folders or drives' and u should be set
I've always assumed that the USB card reader that I can plug into my PC is a device,with its own drivers.
And, like it or not, that's the behaviour I get. Built in card "slots" are invisible unless used. The portable, USB connected ones are always visible, leaving me to click on them until I find the right one with my SD card in it.
Not sure why you're quoting me in this context. I didn't give any opinions regards drives being visible or not if you read back thru' the thread. Mine show up quasi-permanently, but it could depend upon the motherboard BIOS and how it interacts with W7 - which may explain other peoples various experiences differing...
Mine dont show up, but even if they did, so what? .. It doesnt interfere with the performance of my system, so Im not going to spend a lot of time worrying about it...
