Hide Empty

I'd like to have XY hide removable and optical drives that are empty from the Drives toolbar button dropdown list. The drives would automatically reappear should a disc or memory card be inserted.

I would like to second this request. The problem typically arises when one plugs in a universal card reader type device. The larger sizes of Dell screens come with memory card reader sockets down the left side of them. When the USB cable from such a screen (or a portable card reader such as a Belkin F5U249V) is plugged in then there typically appears 4 (yes FOUR) dummy "Removable Disk"s all with drive letters to clutter up the space. In Windows Explorer if one accidentally clicks on one of these Removable Drives one gets an annoying message window with "Please insert a Disk into Drive ..." which one has to close before continuing work. I got so annoyed with this that I standardly leave the USB cable from these screens unplugged until I need to use it. Fortunately XYplorer does not pop up the window but simply marks the drive letter with a little "no-entry" sign (red circle with diagonal line through it) and continues working quietly. But still it would be nice to have an option which allowed one to "hide unavailable volumes" or something like that to get rid of the clutter of extra drive letters - including mapped network drives that are not currently on-line.
