Strange drive connection issue in Remote Desktop

[Guest]

I have a user who is remoting into her office desktop from home. She can
remote into the office desktop no problem. Printers and drives connect fine
with one exception:

The home (local) C: drive does not show up on the remote computer.
The D: (secondary partition) , E: (CD Rom) drive shows up fine, as well as
a removable disk drive F:. The C: drive does not. Printers also show up fine.

Both machines are XP Professional with SP2. Other than Windows firewall,
there is no other software that I can tell that would be blocking access to
the C: drive. And if there was, I would expect that the D:, E: & F: drives
would also be blocked.

Has anyone run into this before?

Thanks in advance.

It could be the group policy hind the C drive.

Thanks for the reply.

It's not the group policy as the policy is an 'all or nothing' type of
policy. (ie. allow to connect drives or not allow). This user is connecting
SOME of the drives. In fact, it connects another partition on the same drive.
it is just the C: partition on that drive that is not connecting. The D:
partition connects fine. Both are NTFS and both have identical permissions on
them.
