Remove drive from Windows 7 navigation pane?

VoucherMan

Is it possible?

There seem to be guides on Seven Forums for removing most items from the navigation pane but nothing about removing specific drives.

I rarely use the DVD drive but quite often click on the icon by mistake, ejecting the tray. It would be handy if I could remove it from the navigation pane, a bit less clutter for the stuff I do use.

I'm guessing the lack of guide means it can't be done, but thought I'd give it a try anyway.

A quick web search bought up this -- seems fairly straightforward.

Easy when you know what you're looking for. :wall:

Thanks.

I'd been searching specifically for navigation pane related articles.

Ha ha -- I know what you mean! Sometimes you just need a fresh pair of eyes!

Glad it worked, anyway
