Windows Drive Hider

Windows Drive Hider is a straightforward piece of software that enables users to quickly hide drives, as the name implies, in order to ensure computer security when sharing it with other people.

The installation procedure takes little time to complete and does not require special attention from the user. There is also a portable version of the tool available.

The main application window lists all available drives at startup automatically. Details include the drive letter, name, type, file system type, and visibility status. All you have to do is select an item and make it invisible with the click of a button.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to hide multiple drives at the same time. However, there is the option to apply the new changes to all users on the system, as long as you have administrative privileges. Making the drives visible again is possible by following the same steps. There are no other options provided by this program.

Windows Drive Hider has a good response time and runs on a very low amount of CPU and RAM, so it does not affect the overall performance of the computer or interrupt normal user activity. We have not come across any issues throughout our evaluation, as it did not hang, crash or pop up error dialogs.

When it comes down to it, Windows Drive Hider offers a very simple solution for hiding drives, and it can be handled even by users with little or no experience in computer software, thanks to its overall simplicity.
