restrict the access of drives in my computer

THE REGISTRY IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE ROOT ACTION FOR EVERY EVENT TO BE HELD IN OUR PC. HERE IT IS ALSO MADE POSSIBLE USING THE SAME. YES…

First of all go to the registry editor(type “regedit” in you run command.)
If am right, then you will be getting a window like this…
In that just follow the path given below
" HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer "

Now in right-side pane, create a new DWORD value NoViewOnDrive and change its value as following:

3 : To Restrict A and B drives only.
4 : To Restrict C drive only.
7 : To Restrict A, B, and C drives only.
8 : To Restrict D drive only.
F : To Restrict A, B, C, and D drives only.
03FFFFFF : To Restrict all drives.

You can also make the restrictions more specifically And if you want more specific restrictions, like you want to restrict a combination of other drives, then you
can use decimal no. instead of hexadecimal no.


Following is a list for all drives decimal no.:

A: 1
B: 2
C: 4
D: 8
E: 16
F: 32
G: 64
H: 128
I: 256
J: 512
K: 1024
L: 2048
M: 4096
N: 8192
O: 16384
P: 32768
Q: 65536
R: 131072
S: 262144
T: 524288
U: 1048576
V: 2097152
W: 4194304
X: 8388608
Y: 16777216
Z: 33554432
ALL: 67108863

Yup.. that’s it.. use all these sort of key word combinations
Finally if u need to restrict the drives in combination, then just sum their numbers and give the same value to NoViewOnDrive. e.g., for restricting UVWX drives, give the value correspondingly

NOTE: just make a note of it that u can also use the above values for hiding ur drives..
