Locking Drives:
We don’t usually prefer to lock our drives, but sometimes it becomes nesscary. Say for instance you might have stored your office documents in D:\ and you don’t want your kids to access it, in such case this technique can be useful for you. Please don’t try this tweak with your root drive (usually C:\ is the root drive) since root drives are not intended to be locked because they are mandatory for the system and application programs.

STEPS

• Click on Start & then Run and type Regedit to open Registry editorBrowse.
• Scroll to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer
• Create a new DWORD value NoViewOnDrive and set its value as:
• 1 to lock A:\ >> 4 to lock C:\ >> 8 to lock D:\ >> 16 to lock E:\ >> 32 to lock F:\ >> 64 to lock G:\ >> 128 to lock H:\ >> 256 to lock I:\ And so it goes.
