Windows Forum / Windows XP / General Topics 2 / June 2008Tweakui
Not sure if this is the correct forum. I use Tweakui and one of the things I do is to hide my other hardrive icon (D drive) this works fine but the other day I logged on to the guest sign in and found that despite hiding the icon on my desktop it still shows under guest. Under guest I accessed tweakui but it then it would not let me open up the drives.(so that I could change to `hide` the D drive icon) Is there a way around this as it kind of defeats the purpose as only guests use my `guest` log on. Hope all this makes sense. regards > Not sure if this is the correct forum. > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > regards If you have tried hiding the drive icons while logged on as Administrator, and that doesn't work either, you might consider creating a new, limited account (called "Visitor" or something like that), and then apply TweakUI. If that works, use the new account for guests. I only have 2 accounts, mine which is administrator and the other which is guest, I have set in `administrator` to hide D drive icon which it does but when I switch to `guest` it shows. >> Not sure if this is the correct forum. >> [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > account (called "Visitor" or something like that), and then apply TweakUI. > If that works, use the new account for guests. Some of TweakUI's changes are on a per-user basis. You might try this: Temporarily give the Guest account administration privileges then make the change in TweakUI. Remove the Guest from the admin group. Restart the system and see what happens. >I only have 2 accounts, mine which is administrator and the other which is >guest, I have set in `administrator` to hide D drive icon which it does but [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >> account (called "Visitor" or something like that), and then apply TweakUI. >> If that works, use the new account for guests. > I only have 2 accounts, mine which is administrator and the other > which is guest, I have set in `administrator` to hide D drive icon [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] >> that), and then apply TweakUI.

Try giving guest admin rights, do the change, then set it back to guest rights. >> I only have 2 accounts, mine which is administrator and the other >> which is guest, I have set in `administrator` to hide D drive icon [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > Try giving guest admin rights, do the change, then set it back to guest > rights. I switched off `guest` account after creating a `visitor` accout and rebooted and did not have any icons on the desktop so could not log in. I rebooted in safe mode and used system restore to get back in. What did I do wrong? This particular setting in TweakUI you're taking about works on a per-user account basis. If you want to apply the setting for all users, implemente the "NoDrives" Policy under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry hive.
