I've always found HideCalc to be the easier and most powerful.
http://www.dabcc.com/DABCC/WebApplication/Aspx/dabcc.file.download.aspx?
intFile=20   It will create an ADM file for you or a REG file and/or
even a kix script.  It is totally easy to use too.  You can learn more
about how to use it at:

3.aspx (scroll down the page).

 

OK, that is my two cents...

Hello,
I found this somewhere on the list a while back, I think it came from
Brian Madden and or loginconsultants.nl but you just need to create a
custum policy then bring impot it to your group policy.  
Sorry if I am giving credit wrong, but it was a while ago and I tried to
google this and didn't get much.  But many thanks to those who did show
me how to do this.

This is the one I use.  Just copy into text file and change the drive
letters to suit you situation, then save it with .adm extension in the
C:\Windows\inf folder 
Then import it into your group policy.

How can I hide drive letters from my users?

 

I am running Citrix on Win2k servers, with my TS Licensing and Domain
Controller being on Win2k3.

I have an application that requires a mapped network drive, but I want
to hide that drive so users can't save files to it.

 

Any ideas?
