No answer

AFAIK, you cannot merge separate drives into one. What would the OS think if you were to use two or more of the flash drives at once? Windows needs to keep them separate.

As for hiding them when not in use, I don't think you can do this in My Computer, but you could hide them in My Computer and use a program like AveDesk to have them appear on your desktop when in use. Have a look at my Desktop Customization guide for a link to AveDesk.

try this, not sure if it will work:

1. Create an empty folder on your desktop and name it whatever you wish

2. Plug one of your flash card readers in

3. Right Hand Mouse (RHM) click on My Computer > Manage > Disk Managment

4. RHM click on the flash card reader and select Change Driver Letter and Paths

5. Click on Change and assign it a drive letter that is not likely to be used eg Z:

6. You will now be prompted with a warning message, select Yes

7. RHM click on Z: and select Change Driver Letter and Paths

8. Click on Add

9. Select Mount in the following empty NTFS folder and then browse to the folder you previously created and click OK.

10. Click OK again and now your flash card reader will be mapped to the folder on your desktop.

11. Disconnect your first flash card reader and connect your second

12. Repeat the above process for each reader.

Let me know how you go!

PS. to hide unwanted drives in My Computer use TweakUI from Microsoft
