Can anyone tell me how to restrict users from browsing the c: drive?
They still need to be able to launch programs, etc...

Go into the User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Explorer Folder

There are two ways of doing this

Hide these specified drives in My Computer or
Prevent access to drives in My Computer

Read through the explanations to see which works best for you

Thanks,

This doesn't seem to prevent the user from making changes.
Will a mandatory profile prevent them from changing desktop settings etc...?
 
This first option only hides the drive. Users can just type in "c:" in the
location bar to get to the c: drive.
The second doesn't allow my programs to run.

Any idea on how I can prevent them from having access while still enabling
programs to run?
 
There is an option with GPO to hide/restrict access to
certain drives

User config\Admin Templates\Windows Explorer

Thanks, Wayne
