user configuration -> administrative templates -> windows components -> windows explorer

2 different options:

or
Prevent access to drives from My Computer

out of curiosity, which GPO settings can be used to block access to the local drives ?

    Yeah I have GPOs in place to block access to the local drive, and
    I followed the MS TS best practice white papers. Is there anything
    else?

you must ALWAYS treat published applications as if you were
publishing a desktop. Security by obscurity in TS is way to
easy to get around.

I'm thinking about publishing windows explorer on citrix
via the internet explorer like this:
"M:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" -e k:
Can anyone think of any potential issues, or reasons why
this would be a bad idea?
I tried to access the M: drive on the server through this
app, and even with domain admin rights, it doesn't seem to
allow you to do it, so I feel somewhat safe in regards to
that.... Not sure if I should feel safe, or if theres a
way around it.
Thanks in advance,
Jon
