How can I get rid of non-existent drive (local disk Q :) that is displayed on the screen of my computer?

original title: How do I get rid of non-existent hard disk that appears on my computer screen?

I have a local disk (q) that loads automatically on my folder "Computer" [the folder that shows all hard drives and peripheral storage removable]. The drive does not exist and when I double click above it says "Q:\\ is not accessible access is denied." I unplugged my external hard drives, and these drives disappear from the screen by this disc remains still.  How can I get rid of him?

I found an article from third party in which people have found a solution:

Hide the Local disk (q) added by Office 2010 Beta

I hope this helps! (you can back up the registry first)

Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk
