How to Restricting Drives in My Computer
Step 1:-
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current
Version\Policies\Explorer
In right-side pane, create new DWORD 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.
If you want more specific restrictions, like you want to restrict a
combination of drives, 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
So if you want to disable a combination of drives, just sum their
numbers and give the same value to NoViewOnDrive. e.g., for
restricting C, D, E and F drives, give the value: 4+8+16+32 = 60
NOTE: You can also hide the drives using NoDrives DWORD value. The
location and its value remain same as the above trick.
That's all. Above are some common restrictions, if you want to know
about any specific restriction, please let us know.
NOTE: If you want to remove the restriction, simply delete the DWORD
or set its value to 0
