Hide partition of HD in XP


Recommended Posts

I am the administrator on an XP system. How do I hide an entire partition or Disk from the other users. I know how to hide folders and programs. I have a minor security concern that prompts this query.

Thanks for any suggestions.

You can block access to the partition by right clicking it and clicking Security, as long as Simple File Sharing is turned off.

To hide the drive, get TweakUI and go:

- My Computer

- Drives

, then uncheck the drive you don't want to be seen.
