    Can this be done? I have one of those 13-in-one readers built into my desktop computer, and i'm trying to un-clutter everything.

    The memory card reader in my laptop only pops up in my computer/explorer if there is a card in it.

    I basically just changed the Icons to look like memory sticks so I don't confuse any drives. Not really sure how to hide them tho.
