Hello A few days ago my windows 10 laptop had a bad program on it, it partitioned my windows so i could not boot. I have used the windows 10 repair disk to fix the windows install and it now shows all my partitions on my main drive including the system partition, my recovery partition and two other partitions that i have no clue what their for. How do i hide all the partitions from "my computer" so that i don't accidentally do anything to them. I know about the disk management drive letters but i keep thinking that if i remove the drive letter then windows will not boot.

so, is there a big button i can press to hide my important partitions from "my computer" and still be able to boot?

Run Dialog -> gpedit.msc. Look further inside, and you're sure to find an option. I personally saw that option on my PC some months back.

Nothing to see here ;)
