hi i have two mapped drives from a server win2008 to a pc with 7 ultimate one with the letter K and the other with X both of them working and showing in the explorer on my computer so my Q is can i only make invisible the K and not all the mapped drives...
From the policies Registry ????
thanks in advanced.
Yes, this is possible.
See METHOD THREE: Drive - Hide or Unhide - Vista Forums
Add a new REG_DWORD (32bit) to
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Call it NoDrives.
Add a decimal value to the key of 1024 to hide K: drive.
You can do all or any drives. A is 1, B is 2, C is 4. Each drive letter double the value.
So, if you put in the value of 3, you would hide A and B drives.
Get the idea?
Logoff/on or reboot and your drive should be hidden.
You realise of course that after hiding it you can probably only access the drive through the command line?
Of course, always back up your registry before making changes.
