hiding a drive

[Keith Panik]

I have partitioned my hard drive as follows: drive c: - 6 GB - Page file
only
drive d: - 12 GB - OS & program files drive e: - 20 GB - data files.
Is there anyway to hide drive c: so it does not show up in explorer?

TIA

If you where to hide C:, then your page file will not work! Windows needs
to be able to access the drive where the page file is stored.

Well I was hoping to hide it from users and not from the OS. I assume you're
saying this can't be done?
Thanks,

You can hide or expose any drive from within tweak U/I. I
dont know wheather this will effect the operation of your
system , but i do know any drive can be hidden

Well, I spoke too soon. It (TweakUI) works great until I restart, then it
comes back.
Anyone else have any ideas?

(much snippage)

Since I don't think you can do what you want - hide the C: drive from
your users - maybe a different approach is in order. Tell us why you
want to do this, what the desired end result is, and maybe we can come
up with a different solution. For instance, if you just want users to
be able to run one application and do nothing else, you can lock down
the workstations thoroughly by using Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc),
but that only comes with XP Pro. So post back with a description of the
situation for some suggestions.
