Now modify it's value and set it to 3FFFFFF (Hexadecimal) .Now restart your computer. So, now when you click on My Computer, no drives will be shown(all gone...). To enable display of drives in My Computer, simply delete this DWORD item that you created.Again restart your computer.You can now see all the drives again.

2. Right click and go to Rename, remove the content, press “Alt” and type “0160″. The Folder name would become NIL.
3. Now go on to the properties of the folder and click “Customize”, and click “Change Icon”.
