TweakUi:
Does not work for me. It does hide my Vista drive from XP apparently. Don't
see it in 'my computer'. It took 2 attempts and reboots to get the Vista
(C
drive hidden from XP (D
I then went to Vista and created a restore
point. Went to XP and back to Vista and the restore point was gone. I then
created another restore point in Vista... rebooted back to Vista and restore
point was there... and created another restore point. Now I had 2. I booted
back to XP and back to Vista and restore points were gone.
Too bad.
My C: and D: drives are physical. I installed Vista on top of XP on the C:
drive. Then I installed another hard drive and put XP on it. I used
'VistaProBoot' to create the dual boot menu.
