Please help me if you know showing hidden drives using mfc / c++ to get the hidden drives info. If I got solution i will share the same. [I mean Hidden drive is, if I remove drive letter in device manager then the drive will be disappear for user. The actual drive & content will be existed in windows. If i go to Disk manager, I can again assign drive letter back and can see the drive.] Thanks in advance for help.
