Hiding items in Windows Explorer

[Jim in Cleveland]

We are running XP computers in a public enviroment. Is there a way that I
can have the public users use Windows Explorer, but only show what I want
them to see? I would like them to have access to the CDROM, USB and a
partition on the drive other than the C drive (I would like to hide the C
drive as well). I would also not want them to have access to any part of the
network, other than getting to the Internet. Can all this be done with Group
Policy or Steady State?

'Copy and paste the following into a text file with the .VBS extension.
Then, double click on it within any
'profile on any computer you don't want them to be able to see C drive from.
In other words; clicking on this file will hide drive C 'in Explorer in that
profile.
