I have an Iomega REV drive (for backup) on the TS and it uses F:

Today the users can explore this drive, but I want to hide it from the users.

I have tried GPO:
User Configuration - Administrative templates - Windows components
- Windows Explorer - "Hide these specified drives in My Computer"
but I can't select F:, only A,B,C and D.

How can I hide F:?

Re: Restrict drive

You can create a custom .adm template to hide other drives:

231289 - Using Group Policy Objects to hide specified drives
