> Drives with a drive-letter other than A-Z do not appear in File Explorer, and cannot be navigated to in File Explorer.

Up until recently, you could do the same thing in the Windows Registry to make it so normal Windows tools (e.g. Regedit) couldn't view/modify certain entries. I believe it was still an issue in the last five~ years.
