Hello,

I have tried to use this functionality with TweakUI, the drive I want
to hide in unticked, but it still shows in Explorer. I also use
Partition Magic in parallel, could it be the reason ? If not, why ?
Thanks
 
Hi Tony,

See if rebooting the system helps. Reboot is necessary for certain settings
to take effect. If that does not help, follow these steps

1. Click Start, Run and type REGEDIT.EXE
2. Navigate to the following registry branch:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

3. Use the Export option in the File menu to backup the branch to a REG
file.
4. Then in the right-pane, delete the value named "NoDrives" (if present)
5. Close REGEDIT.EXE and restart Windows.

Click to expand...

The last three options in that section are set wrong. Use the third option
("Show network drive letters…") instead; that's "Never show drive letters".
