#538 Enable/Disable NAND from drive list

Currently the NAND is displayed in the drive list. This is great for those who may wish to access/copy files from the NAND. However, for those of us not using NAND emulation, this can be a bit dangerous.

It'd be good if there were an "Explorer" tab setting to "View NAND in Drive List" (on/off), so to better protect from inadvertent edits.

Using version 241.

I can add this as others might think of it usefull as well but in the way the nand is mounted it is not dangerous at all at the moment since it is read only. You can not do any harm by having it in read only mode.

Additionally I plan to add a setting to enable write access for those who need it. This setting would have a huge warning/disclaimer prompt and would be reset on every start of wiixplorer to off. What do you think of that?

I think it's great that you're adding NAND access for those who need it. It was wise to make it read-only for now.

A disclaimer is a good idea for write access, though I wonder if it needs to be reset on each boot. Perhaps there could be a third setting that's auto-selected when "write" is enabled (just after the disclaimer):

x Read NAND
x Write NAND
x Disable Write NAND on next boot

Of course, if such settings were absent from the settings file, the default should be no writing.

Do you think this might be a good alternative? Then the default behavior is safe, but leaves it open for anyone (I'm assuming with emulated NAND?) who wishes to auto-mount both read/write.
