1. The purpose of the program.
==============================
Hide drives really does as its name suggests, it can hide any combination of the drives on your computer A - Z. Once the drive or drives are hidden they do not appear on the Windows 95/98 Explorer list or in most common file dialog boxes which appear in your Windows applications. It is possible to setup additional drives either by adding hardware to your PC or by partitioning your existing disk drive and then make them hidden using Hide drives. Any other person would then not be aware of the other drives when using the PC.
Later you may wish to make the drive(s) visible again, simply run Hide drives again and clear all checkboxes, all drives will then become visible in Explorer again when it refreshes the drive list.



2. How to install Hide drives.
==============================
From an Explorer window containing this text file, ie the one you extracted the zip to locate the file marked Setup.exe. Double click Setup.exe to make it run this will run
the familiar InstallShield software which will install the application. Simply follow instruction and when prompted select the options required.
