Hide your folders.. never known trick !!!!!!!!!! Disguise them to
"Recycle Bin"

Rename any folder with extension {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
example:
if you have a folder games
press F2,
then type, "games.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"
see the magic....
then to get to original form,
remove the extension using
"ren games.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} games" in dos or as a
bat file

and you are done..

Hide Drives using your registry


 This setting allows you to control which drives are visible in My Computer and Explorer. It is possible to hide all drives or just selected ones.

Open your registry (press win+r and type regedit , hit enter )
goto

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

and find or create the DWORD "NoDrives" there by right clicking on explorer -> NEW -> DWORD value .

The "NoDrives" value uses a 32-bit word to define local and network drive visibility for each logical drive in the computer. The lower 26 bits of the 32-bit word correspond to drive letters A through Z. Drives are visible when set to 0 and hidden when set to 1.

If your not happy working in Hex, add these decimal numbers to hide the drive(s):

A: 1, B: 2, C: 4, D: 8, E: 16, F: 32, G: 64, H: 128, I: 256, J: 512, K: 1024, L: 2048, M: 4096, N: 8192, O: 16384, P: 32768, Q: 65536, R: 131072, S: 262144, T: 524288, U: 1048576, V: 2097152, W: 4194304, X: 8388608, Y: 16777216, Z: 33554432, ALL: 67108863

For example to hide drive A and drive D, you would add 1 (A) + 8 (D) which means the value should be set to "9".

To disable all the drives set the value to "67108863".

Restart Windows for the change to take effect.

Note: These drives will still appear in File Manager, to remove File Manager, delete or rename winfile.exe.

what about tips for laptop vista?

[SomeBoy]

Nice tips, they should be added to a single post. BTW my only tip is:
Clean your registry weekly to avoid system crash. After you clean your registry from error your PC will run 10X faster.
