after looking around I don't see it after all. I just hide the c drive from them outright. All they see are the mapped drives. Would that work for you?

Just in case - I do not mean the 'Shared Folder" part as that seems to be only about the publishing in AD - or does that cover the actual capability of sharing a folder? -----Original Message----- From: Greg Reese [mailto:GReese@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2003 12:06 PM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: GPO question yes there is one in there. I forget where exactly. I will dig around in mine and see if I can find it for you.

We want to prevent end users to open a backdoor for viruses by creating network shares on their machines? I am browsing through my GPO's but do not see a setting. Thanks for your feedback.
