Drives on Windows Explorer

So How about hiding display of Drives on Windows Explorer! though they will still be visible if you do File>Open from some application.

Steps:
(1) Click on Start> Run
(2) Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software/Microsoft/windows/current version/policies/explorer
If the location doesn't exist, create it.
(3) On the right pane of the RegEdit window, Right click and New>DWORD Value
(4)
Rename it as "NoDrives" and give the value 3FFFFFF in Hexadecimals.

Refresh (F5) your registry windows and explorer. You might have to restart your computer to see the changes.

To display the drives again:
(1) Delete the
"NoDrives" value created.
(1) Open your Windows Explorer.
(2) View>Folder Options>View tab.
(3) Just change anything so that Apply button is enabled.
(4) Hit Apply and then OK.

and now you have them displayed again.
