  • Go to run
  • Type “diskpart”.
  • Type “list volume”.
  • Now select the volume you want to hide by typing “select volume n” (n is the volume number against the drive you want to hide). eg: select volume 2.
  • Type “remove letter x”(x is the drive name). eg: remove letter D.
  • Done, now check my computer.
  • If you want to show the drive again then repeat step 1 to 4 then type “assign letter x”.

Note: Don’t try with drive C. If you have locked something with Folder lock or other software then after assigning the drive everything will be unlocked.

Multiple email addresses for one gmail account

Let’s say that I have a gmail address: itzbiswajeet@gmail.com.

Now if I am signing up for a newsletter at ABC Corp. I can register with the email address itzbiswajeet+abc@gmail.com. You can put any extra alphanumeric character after the plus sign and it still gets delivered to itzbiswajeet@gmail.com.

One benefit of this feature is to track where emails are coming from.
