Drive access for particular user

[gchandrujs via WindowsKB.com]

Dear all,

I am using win 2k3 as my domain server. I want to hide a single drive in
local user computer for all users logon except domain administrator. I know
that i need to make a registry change for that. But i want to know that
except administrator or other user i desired, whatever user logons that drive
should be hidden. How to do that?. I have a registry tweak which will hide
only for particular user. But i need to access that drive only for that
particular user and not for any other domain user logon.

Any help please

Thanks in advance
chandra

Look at
