Great, I'll take another look. You got the scenarios correct.
Specifically, I'm concerned about 2. and 3. below.

I didn't think so. If the user sees "A:\" from the TS session now, then
applying a hide drive GPO on the TS (look at using loopback/merge mode?
- I think it's a user setting) will stop the user from being able to see
/ use that drive from the TS - the client PC will be unaffected. You'd
still be able to see your "A" drive from your local PC unless you have a
policy there...
Let me see if I can establish the exact behaviour you want:
1 - User runs Word localy (PC). Can save to A, C, or network drives. No
change needed.
2 - User runs Word (Published Application). Drives A and C are mapped to
the TS Session and appear as A and C. User should not see A:\. Use GPO
to hide A drive from the TS, and to define the default save location.
3 - User runs Word on TS through Published Desktop. Same logic as 2 -
A:\ is restricted the the Hide Drives policy.
If it doesn't work, try using the modelling bit of GPMC to see what GPOs
get applied to the user on a specific TS. - See if you've not missed
something there.

Doesn't this stops the user from seeing the Server's drives but not
their own on their own PC? I'm looking to shut off the local PC's A:
drive within Windows 2003 Terminal Server...
I'll give it another try but we already hide the specific Server's
drives via this method.

Gives you the information you need to hide drives and prevent access.
We implement this though a GPO, and it does work, though test first...

We're bringing up a few terminal servers running Windows 2003 Server and
I'm trying to stop all the applications from looking at the user's A:
drive. They need access to their C: drive, but the A: drive ends up on
their list in Explorer and tries to be read every time Office displays
the File Save dialog.
Anyone have any ideas? I've tried deleting it during logon script with
a NET USE \\TSCLIENT\A /DELETE but it doesn't seem to work.
Thanks,
Bill
