Hide the Floppy Drive in Windows Vista

Gone the days when we used Floppy Drives. They are rarely seen on home PC’s, but operating systems such Windows XP & Vista still support Floppy Drives. You might feel irritated when you see a floppy drive icon in My Computer under Windows Vista. Here is a simple trick to hide this icon.

Open the registry editor by typing regedit in the Run Window. Goto HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer. If this key doesn’t exist, create it. Then create or modify a 32-bit DWORD key named NoDrives & assign it a value of 1.
