Can't Block/Hide Particular Drive with GPO

Dear All,

I've setup up a custom ADM to block all drives on a system, except the Z
drive which is mapped to a folder for the person to be able to save out...

All the Drives get blocked, except the E drive (well the Z drive is visible,
but that was intended)

I'm using the value of '01111111111111111111111111' or 33554431 decimal,
which is correct, right?

Why would the E Drive be visible in 'My Computer' ?

Regards
Paul.

Hello Kardon,

For what is E used? You are right with 33554431.

Re: Can't Block/Hide Particular Drive with GPO

Hello Kardon,

Also tested a bit and we got the same symptom, that the D drive was visible,
but only in the left pane form the explorer window. In the right pane it
was like it should be.
