I have client machines that are using the 1.3 LE version of Core FTP. In my GPO objects for the machines "Hide these specified drives in My Computer" has been enabled. Located at "User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Explorer"
The detailed description of this GP Object is as follows:
We have WORD and EXCEL and the such and it also does not allow the user to view the contents of either of these drives. It would be awesome if this could be available in the next release."Removes the icons representing selected hard drives from My Computer and Windows Explorer. Also, the drive letters representing the selected drives do not appear in the standard Open dialog box.
To use this setting, select a drive or combination of drives in the drop-down list. To display all drives, disable this setting or select the "Do not restrict drives" option in the drop-down list.
Note: This setting removes the drive icons. Users can still gain access to drive contents by using other methods, such as by typing the path to a directory on the drive in the Map Network Drive dialog box, in the Run dialog box, or in a command window.
Also, this setting does not prevent users from using programs to access these drives or their contents. And, it does not prevent users from using the Disk Management snap-in to view and change drive characteristics.
Also, see the "Prevent access to drives from My Computer" setting.
Note: It is a requirement for third-party applications with Windows 2000 or later certification to adhere to this setting."
If this is an unwilling option is there some other way to limit how the user accesses the local disk as I do not want any users viewing any specified root folder, ie. "WINDOWS", "Program Files", ect.
If you have any questions or comments please feel free to ask.
Thank you,
Dustin Buschow
