hi all,

can anyone tell me the setting in wincmd.ini to hide a drive from TC. I have done this before, but I forgot the setting.

thanks

Add this line in wincmd.ini:
[Configuration]
...
DriveBarHide=AB \=



This will hide drive A: , B: and Network from drive buttons.

Allowed=

it was something like this, but i could acces that drive from TC's command line with CD comand

So you wish to nave NO possibility to access some drive? Even from command line? (Please explain why).
If they are CDs or whole HDs, they can be hidden from the BIOS. There is no way to hide drives from the system commands. By the way, "cd" command usually follows the "drive" command like "c:".

Contrary to the Allowed= option, the drives remain accessible via drive dropdown

I just want to hide a partition, let's say partition X:, but i want to be able to access it by cd x:
If i use allowed=, then I can't acces partition x: using cd x:

Exactly what I said. See above.

What you mean 'hide a partition' ? What purpose? (search except that drive, avoid read, and so on...)

You can use 'Ignore list' for most of your purpose.

Feel free to ask me in Romanian if it's not enough clear (not in this forum) using my contact.

You can hide it from the drive bar via DriveBarHide= option, see help, in the section about wincmd.ini. It will still be in the drive dropdown list, though.
