RDC: Disallow local drive mapping

[Twan Kennis]

We'd like to service our employees to work remotely by using Remote
Desktop to connect to their own Windows XP workstation at the office.
Because of security reasons we'd like to disallow the option to connect
to local drives within the RDC-session.
Is there some group policy setting or option to disallow local drive
mapping?
