Disallow users to see certain drives Have a drive you'd rather some users not be able to access? Here's a little registry hack to deny others that right. Each drive letter corresponds to a binary decimal number, starting from 0 going to 25: Simply if the drive letter is C, since C is the third letter in the alphabet the number you need is 2^2 = 4 or drive A is 2^0 = 1. To remove multiple drives simple add up there corresponding values and use that. To Remove all drives use the value 67108863 (the sum of all drive letters A-Z) *for interests sake this value is: (2^26) - 1, since we start at 0 Deny the current user: (need to be logged on under their account) path: Code: KEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer path: Code: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer create a REG_DWORD key named NoDrives *right click in right pane select it and make it's data entry the number you determined earlier. That's it, it usually requires a restart to take effect. *NOTE these drives still display under fileman.exe. To complete this disabling you will need to rename this file or delete it! |
