| Administrator | Re: Drive - Hide or Unhide My guess then is that Vista just will not let you hide a removable drive like a USB flash drive.  |

| Newbie | Re: Drive - Hide or Unhide actually this is a partition on my sata ssd that i setup just for readyboost. i figured the 100mb transfer rates were more than enough to do the job well.. mabe its because i have the drive letters hidden.. i'm going to try restarting.. checking the registry, mabe deleting the dword, restarting, putting it back and restarting again. i hope it works.. |

| Administrator | Re: Drive - Hide or Unhide My mistake. I just assumed that since it was ReadyBoost, it was a USB flash drive.  Please post back your results.  |

| Administrator | Re: Drive - Hide or Unhide Hello Awargi, The reg file in the ZIP download below will restore this default Explorer key and entries back to your registry. After you have extracted the reg file from the ZIP, just double click on it to merge and approve. Hope this helps, Shawn |

| Administrator | Re: Drive - Hide or Unhide Awargi, Try doing the manual METHOD TWO at this registry location as well. It should hide it for all users. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer |

| Administrator | Re: Drive - Hide or Unhide No problem. In the left pane, you would right click on Policies, and click on New and Key. Type Explorer, and press Enter.  |
