Not sure if this is the correct forum.

I use Tweakui and one of the things I do is to hide my other hardrive icon
(D drive) this works fine but the other day I logged on to the guest sign
in and found that despite hiding the icon on my desktop it still shows under
guest.
Under guest I accessed tweakui but it then it would not let me open up the
drives.(so that I could change to `hide` the D drive icon)

Is there a way around this as it kind of defeats the purpose as only guests
use my `guest` log on.
Hope all this makes sense.

regards

If you have tried hiding the drive icons while logged on as Administrator,
and that doesn't work either, you might consider creating a new, limited
account (called "Visitor" or something like that), and then apply TweakUI.
If that works, use the new account for guests.

I only have 2 accounts, mine which is administrator and the other which is
guest, I have set in `administrator` to hide D drive icon which it does but
when I switch to `guest` it shows.

Some of TweakUI's changes are on a per-user basis. You might try this:
Temporarily give the Guest account administration privileges then make the
change in TweakUI. Remove the Guest from the admin group. Restart the system and
see what happens.

Try giving guest admin rights, do the change, then set it back to guest
rights.

rebooted and did not have any icons on the desktop so could not log in. I
rebooted in safe mode and used system restore to get back in.
What did I do wrong?

This particular setting in TweakUI you're taking about works on a per-user
account basis. If you want to apply the setting for all users, implemente
the "NoDrives" Policy under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry hive.
