Hi,
Is there any way that i can enable a GP to hide the C:\
drive of all the client PCs in a windows 2000 domain.
Or can i enable it from the Client end, Local computer
policy?
pls advice

Hide these specified drives in My Computer
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer
Description
Removes the icons representing selected drives from My Computer and Windows
Explorer, and removes all graphic representation of the selected drives from
Certified for Microsoft Windows programs. Also, the drive letters representing
the selected drives do not appear in the standard Open dialog box.
To use this policy, select a drive or combination of drives from the drop-down
list. To display all drives, disable this policy, set it to Not configured, or
select the Do not restrict drives option from the drop-down list.
Note
This policy removes the drive icons. Users can still gain access to drive
contents by using other methods, such as by typing the path to a directory on
the drive in the Map Network Drive dialog box, in the Run dialog box, or in a
command window.
This policy does not prevent users from using programs to access these drives or
their contents. Also, it does not prevent users from using the Disk Management
snap-in to view and change drive characteristics.
This policy was documented incorrectly on the Explain tab in Group Policy for
Windows 2000. The Explain tab states incorrectly that this policy also affects
My Network Places. The Explain tab also fails to mention that this policy
affects Certified for Microsoft Windows programs.
