How do I hide my Swap Drives?

[Walter_Slipperman]

I have partitioned my hard drive to be multi-boot and I have made a swap
drive for Vista and a swap drive for XP on an extended partition.

- How do I hide them so that I don't see them when I viewing drives in
Computer (formally My Computer)?

-- How do I unhide them if I need to see them someday?

And also I might want to do this to the XP OS partition that I have also set
up so that I also don't see that when I view the drives in Computer.

Yes, I came across that page when I was searching for a solution. I haven't
tried it yet because I was wondering if there is a standard setting for this
rather than a registry tweak. If there really isn't, I'll do it in the
registry. But that makes it necessary to remember what I did if I ever
want to get back to before the regedit.

Just do a registry backup before modifying anything.

Excellent. I wanted to turn off visability of drives A: D: E: and G: so I
made a key with a decimal value of 89 per the instructions and it worked.

Thanks,
