How to control access to selected drives

[Guest]

Hello All,

We have an Windows 2003 Server and XP client network. I am trying to enforce
some controls on a pool of laptops that are shared between students. What I
want is to ensure that the students can only save their documents on their
network folders, to do this I would like to hide the local drives (A,C,D and
E) in the common File Save/Save As dialogs. Is this possible.

I know I can hide the actual drives in Admin -> Windows Explorer -> Hide
Specific Drives, but this hides everything and we do store some resources on
the local disks that the students do need to access.

Does anyone know if I can do what I want to do, or do I need to move the
resources to a network drive and lock down access to the local disks?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Paul

I believe your only way is to set the setting you already described and move
your local resources to a shared folder on the network instead.
