Assuming that HideCalc is simply giving you the DWORD values for your
specific drive letter combo, you'd need to use that value to set two policy
settings:
 
NoDrives               <- Hides them in the common file dialogs.
NoViewOnDrive      <- Prevents user from typing drive letter in common file
dialogs.
 
Apps that don't use the common file dialog windows will ignore these
settings.  Typically these would be older apps.
 
Both settings would be placed under
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

        Question for anyone who has used HideCalc in a TS environment. Does
this template merely "hide" the drives or does it prevent a user from using
it? In other words, if a user went to explorer and type in M:\, could they
get to it?
