Sometime
we have some personal files which we don't want to share with others. At such
condition we need to hide it from them, so we start to search different software
to hide it and we have to protect it by passwords. There are chances of
forgetting password which may cause to lose data. Now you won't need to panic here I have trick to protect
the files without having any utility software installed on your system.
Just follow steps below:
- Go to "Control Panel > Administrative
Tools" or "My Computer > Properties >
Manage".
- Open "Computer Management".
- Go to "Disk Management".
- Now you will see list of all disk drives and partitions.
- Right click on drive you want to hide (Suppose E:\).
- Click on "Change Drive Letter and
Paths".
- Now a window will appear showing drive letter (Suppose
E).
- Click on "Remove".
- Now click on "OK".
Now drive selected hard disk or partition is
hidden in your computer. You cannot see it when you open "My
Computer".
- To make the disk drive appear again:
- Open Disk Management as in above process.
- The drive you have made hidden will be there without any letter.
- Right click on drive.
- Choose "Change Drive Letter and Paths".
- Press add and choose a letter (Suppose G:\).
- Click OK.
Now you can see the disk
drive again when you open My Computer and view the files and documents.
