About
Windows Drive Hider is the free software to quickly Hide and Protect your Drives from other users on Windows.

Windows has built-in feature which allows you to Hide selected Drives from showing up in 'My Computer', File Explorer or File Open/Save Dialog boxes. This way you can hide your protected files from other users on the system as they don't see the hidden drives. However you will be able to access the contents of hidden drive through command prompt or by typing the path directly in the Explorer.

This way it is an ideal solution for administrators and parents to safeguard sensitive files from their children.

Our Drive Hider tool makes it easy for you to quickly hide/unhide any Drive with just a click. You can also choose to hide it from current user only or from all users on the system.

Windows Drive Hider displays detailed information for each Drive such as

  • Drive Path
  • Volume Name
  • Type (Local, Network, CD, USB etc)
  • File System (FAT32, NTFS etc)
  • Hidden Status

It is very easy to use with its simple & beautiful GUI interface. It is fully portable and includes Installer also for easy installation & un-installation.

Windows Drive Hider works on both 32-bit & 64-bit platforms starting from Windwos XP to new Windows 10 edition.
