You'll have to try it to be sure - I don't have a box I can try it on right
now. As far as who it affects, you can configure a policy to provide just
that one setting if you want and filter it by security group(s) so that only
group members receive the policy.

What about Internet Explorer's (our published application) need to access
the C: drive to store it's cache files? Will this policy affect that or
will it only be a policy for those who want to use Explorer?
Also, how will this policy affect non-anonymous users that need to log into
that box to administer the box either thru RDP or console? Policy only on a
group?

You shouldn't have to hack the dll to keep them from getting to the C drive.
If you configure the group policy to deny access to the C drive in Explorer,
it shouldn't matter that they can get the Open dialog. Drive C will be
denied.

But, if we reshack the browselc.dll, will it also affect those who log into
the box via Terminal Terminal services or the local console?

Hi Melvin,
Policies are part of it, the hotkeys etc will have to be disabled by hacking
browselc.dll with reshacker (downloadable from www.thethin.net).
It's pretty easy.

Hi All,
We have Internet Explorer 5.5 as a published anonymous application, but we'd
like to have them not be able to type C:\ in the URL bar (or Control-L,
Control-O) in order to access the Citrix server's C: drive. Is there a
technique for this? Policies? Rename Explorer.exe ?
Were using MF18 SP3 for Windows 2000
