Hello, if you make users admin you cannot restrict them, they can reveert all settings, if you don't trust them don't make them admin.Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

through the group policy settings you will be able to restrict the access for specific drives. but an administrator can change this settings if they are technically strong. otherwise this will work for you.

Hi, Thanks for your posting. As above posting, admin has the same privilege level with you on that computer. What you restrict on that computer they have same privilege to cancel it. We have a Group Policy item to remove the icons representing selected drives form My Computer and Windows Explorer, and remove all graphic representation of the selected drives from Certified for Microsoft Windows programs. Also, the drive letters representing the selected drives do not appear in the standard Open dialog box. You can configure it at: User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer\ Hide these specified drives in My Computer For more information please refer to following MS articles: Hide these specified drives in My Computer http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc975948.aspx Using Group Policy Objects to hide specified drives http://support.microsoft.com/kb/231289Lawrence TechNet Community Support
