.NET Security Policy

[Saul]

How does one modify the .NET Security policy to grant Full Trust to all
Network Drives? I have tried granting Full Trust using "file://*" for
evidence, but it doesn't seem to work...

You can't because you don't know ahead of time what the file share will be.
So you need to wait until you know what the drive is and then provide the
required permissions.

In any case, here is the usage
Used “C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\caspol.exe -m -ag 1 -url
"file:////\\ computername \ sharename \*" FullTrust -exclusive on†to give
the full trust on the location for .Net 2.0 application

Very surprising that there is no way to specify Full Trust for all Network
Drives.

What is a network drive? If you have physical drives c and d and you have a
network drive on z how would you set that policy? What would you point it
at? It doesn't know what a network drive is, It knows what a file path is.
Perhaps you can try this \\*, I seriously doubt that will work. In any case,
even if it did work, think of the security hole that you just opened up on
your machine.
