I used it with
NoLowDiskSpaceChecks with a hex value of 1 (dword 32 bit)

@CURT

Use HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE for all users.

You cannot set HKEY_CURRENT_USER policy in a non-admin user account (because otherwise non-admin users could revoke the restrictions placed on them by network admins).

That’s great dude, I can short out my issue. Any way I have tried with winXP so I strongly hope that it will work with my widow Vista home.
Cheers,

Hey, is this a “Per User” setting or an “All User” setting?
Thanks.

Far better to use:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\Nodrives

And then the drive is hidden for all users, instead of just the user who is logged in when you run regedit.

To hide more drives just SUM them & put into NoDrive value
