Hide Drive

Hide Drive is a small Windows application designed with a single goal in mind: to help you hide drive letters from any of the standard Windows panels, including Windows Explorer and My Computer.

Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.

You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to conceal drive letters on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps.

You are welcomed by a clean feature lineup that allows you to carry out most operations with minimal effort. Everything is kept as simple and clear as possible, so there’s support for only a few dedicated parameters to tinker with.

Hide Drive automatically detects all drives letters and displays them in the primary panel. What’s more, you are allowed to select the drives that you want to conceal, check or uncheck all of them, as well as apply the current changes and exit the program.

The tool automatically restarts your computer in order to make the adjustment to your system, so it is recommended to save your work before triggering the process. You can make the program skip the reboot process but the changes are not applied until you restart the computer.

You should take into consideration that the hard drives are only concealed from prying eyes but they can be accessed. On the downside, the utility doesn’t offer support for a master password, so users may easily change the current settings and have access to your private information.

All things considered, Hide Drive proves to be a simplistic piece of software that comes bundled with limited features for helping you hide drive letters from any standard Windows panels.
