In spite of its name, that feature doesn't hide drive, it hides partitions.
It does seem to help however, for preventing file explorer to access the drive, and
the changes are local to one user (good thing) but the 2nd drive is still being relaunched
when I open the bin, or when I launch norton system works (sometimes not!) and I'm
sure I can find still more actions like that with more testing, so I guess the system
still knows that the drive is here and will always find a good reason for requesting
access to it.
The problem is, I think, that whenever an application tries to list the drives
all of them have to be launched.
(The AV doesn't scan files randomly, just downloads and that kind of stuff).
Thanks Otter, does anyone else have an idea how to solved that problem? (without
having to reboot every times)
The ideal might be to have a user account with the drive really hidden from the system.
Is that possible?
