Yes I always overwrite the files.

I havent used it to much, but the could of times I did it worked. I mean it is just writing things to the registry or file system.

Of course I do have UAC turned off, so if you are running it make sure to run it as administrator just in case :-)

I know this isn't important it's just annoying me that I haven't figured out the issue yet.
I'm sure you can relate to that frustration   :teeth:  :smiley:

So I carried out another Windows 7 upgrade repair manually edited the registry (after creating a backup).

1. Then went to  - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
2. Created a new 32Bit DWORD - NoDrives - Decimal 12 (hex C) - for hiding C and D Drives
3. Restarted Computer
4. See Image Attached.

Although the NoDrive DWORD is set to 12, both drives still show when I go to:
Start / Computer !

To me, this would reflect the issue doesn't lie with gpedit, as the registry setting should work
when the registry is manually edited.

What could cause the registry setting to have no effect ?

 :undecided:

I think MS may have changed that setting, see if this one will help better :-)

If you look at the list there should be no 0x0c like you have.
