As an open source tool, NoDrives Manager is free to download and use. It runs on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10. It provides a simple checkbox interface to pick which drive letters you want to hide. There are also options to password protect the program to prevent unauthorized access to visible drives.

Overall, NoDrives Manager is a useful utility for controlling drive access through drive letter visibility. It's a lightweight tool that gives you more control over who and what can access drives on your Windows computer.
