Prevent Access To Specific Drives In My Computer - Learn latest Computer And mobile Hacking Tricks

You can prevent users from viewing and accessing the files and folders on specific drives using Windows Explorer, My Computer, or the Run command. They will not be able to map a network drive or use the DIR command to get a list of directories on the drive. This is a good way to add a layer of protection to a drive on which you store sensitive data. (You should also use access controls/permissions and encrypt the data if it’s extremely sensitive.)
1. In your registry editor, logged on with the user account you want to restrict, navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.
2. Right-click in an empty portion of the right details pane and select New | DWORD Value.
3. Rename the new value NoViewOnDrive.
4. Double-click the value and set the view to Decimal. In the Value Data field, add the following number(s) to hide the corresponding drive(s): A: 1, B: 2, C: 4, D:8, E:16, F: 32, G: 64, H:128, I: 256, J: 512, K: 1024, L: 2048, and so on, multiplying by 2 to get the next numbers for the rest of the alphabet.
