How to hide seldom-used drive letters
My Windows 8.1 computer has 4 media card readers with 4 drive letters.
These are CF/MD Card (H), MS/Pro/Duo Card (K), SD/mini-MMC/RS card (J), and SM/xD card (l) readers.
So my computer is crowded with too many driver letters which I do not use them. How can I hide these driver letters in total commander? My other Windows 7 computers also 4 card readers but they were well hidden in total commander. But they work if I plug in SDHC card. I do not know how I did on the Win 7 computer.

From the help:
HideRemovableNoMedia=0
When !=0, removable drives like USB card readers will not be shown unless a medium is inserted. Note that CD-ROM drives and floppy disk drives will always be shown. Apply to:
1: Drive button bar
2: Drive dropdown list
4: Search function - Drives
7: All
This function may be very slow with certain drives, so turn it off if you notice any slowdown.

This entry has to be added to your wincmd.ini file.Where to apply "HideRemovableNoMedia=0 ".
Just select from main menu "Configuration - Change settings file directly"
=> Two file will be opened at notepad.
Use the one with wincmd.ini.
At "[Configuration]" section there are already some entries.
- Add a new line with HideRemovableNoMedia=1 direcly under [Configuration]
- Restart TC
This will hide the empty drive letters from the Drive button bar only.
If you insert a media into your card reader, just this drive letter will appear again.
Use HideRemovableNoMedia=2 if you want to hide them from Drive dropdown list only ... and so on.

Where is it exactly that you expect to se that the drive letters has been hidden - in the drive button bar, the drive dropdown list or both - or somewhere else?
