How to disable a drive from being shown in window explorer?
For example, I want the D drive to be hidden.
I've tried to set the NoDrive value in registry for a
specific user under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Windows>Microsoft>Policies>Explo
rer

The D drive is hidden in "My Computer", however, it's
still shown in Window Explorer. Please advise a way to
make it hidden as well.
