Windows Policies Customization from registry
Note: Editing registry directly is not safe, it can crash your windows or it starts working abnormally, so if you have good knowledge of registry only then try this.
The various information about the policies of the Windows Explorer stored in the registry key as below:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
There is a list of values in this key that can be customized to reflect the desired behavior of the windows policies.
e.g. To Hide Disc Drive
navigate to registry key as specified above". Create a new entry by clicking on edit-> new->"Dword value". Name the value as 3fffffff.
Now each drive letter has a number. The value of the key will be the sum of the drive letter numbers. Some of the numbers are :
Now each drive letter has a number. The value of the key will be the sum of the drive letter numbers. Some of the numbers are :
A:=1, B:=2,C:\4,D:=8,e:=16,f:=32,g:=64,H:=128,I:=256,j:=512,k:=1024,L:=2048 and so on. ..... Now if you want to hide "C:" and "D:" , you just have to enter value as '12'(4+8). Enter as decimal value in the dword key and restart windows.
To get back your drives just delete the key called "3fffffff".
Similarly you can enforce/disable many other policies to in addition to default policy behaviours. Some of the useful list of tricks is given as below:
Navigate to same key as given above and Under this create a DWORD-Value and name it from the list below to impose restriction.
The value of which will be
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Under the same key i.e. "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/CurrentVersion/Policies" you can create new subkeys other than the already existing Explorer key.
-Now create a new key and name it System.
-Under this new key, system we can create the
following new DWORD values

Windows Explorer Behaviour Customization
Note: Editing registry directly is not safe, it can crash your windows or it starts working abnormally, so if you have good knowledge of registry only then try this.
The various information about the behavior of the Windows Explorer and its contents is stored in the registry key as below:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
There is a list of values in this key that can be customized to reflect the desired behavior of the windows explorer.
e.g. If you want to increase the size of the folder icon you can change the value of ThumbnailSize which has default value to be "60".
Windows CLSID
All COM objects are named with unique CLSID and which is responsible for any behaviour instict in Windows file system. So these CLSID can also change the behaviour of the folder too.
e.g. if we have a directory named "xyx" at location "C:\". Also the CLSID for the windows Lock tool is "{2559a1f2-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}". So if you need the folder to have icon as that of the Lock tool of the windows then just rename the directory "xyz" to "xyz.{2559a1f2-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}". This will cause the directory icon changed to lock.
Similarly we can bind other folders with corresponding CLSID. Various well known CLSID list is as given below.

Also, I'm analyzing what other benefits can be obtained from these existing features for our requirements, please comment if any of the reader have some more tips related to CLSID benefits.
e.g. if we have a directory named "xyx" at location "C:\". Also the CLSID for the windows Lock tool is "{2559a1f2-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}". So if you need the folder to have icon as that of the Lock tool of the windows then just rename the directory "xyz" to "xyz.{2559a1f2-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}". This will cause the directory icon changed to lock.
Similarly we can bind other folders with corresponding CLSID. Various well known CLSID list is as given below.
