Not at the moment I had though about that locking c all together and
redirecting mydocuments to say another partition didn't want to if I could
figure this out but that may be the best option

Do you have somewhere other than C: where you can redirect My Documents,
either to a network share or another drive/partition on the PC?

Ok did the hide drives policy and it worked to hide the drive however if you
open my computer and manually type in C:\ it will still let you go to the
root of c and create a folder and save to it. Anyone know how to stop this?

Ok. Sorry, I was thinking you were using the Hide Drives in My Computer
policy. Prevent access does exactly as it says--it prevents access. You may
want to use the Hide Drives policy instead. That should allow access even if
C: is hidden.

There is a policy under "User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows
Components/Windows Explorer" called "Prevent Access to Drives from My
Computer" that, when enabled, will disallow access to several different
combinations of the A, B, C and D drives or even all drives.
I did this and it will not allow access to mydocuments. I want usrs to be
able to access my documents but not be able to creatfolders or anything else
on the root of c

I'm a little confused, since hiding drives should not prevent access to My
Documents. Are you saying that if they, for example, click on the My
Documents icon on the desktop that it errors out?

Anyone know how to make the root of c non accessible. I have told the group
policy not to allow saving of files to c however if you creat a new folder
you can save to that folder. Anyone know how to stop this?
