The symptoms you are describing sound very domain policy related to me.
Part of the policy stuff allows you to hide drives in Windows Explorer and
that does sounds like what is happening here, as they are available from
Winfile (and presumably CMD sessions etc).
My suggestion would be to go back through and (rather than just removing the
group policy) apply a group policy which restricts access to a specified
drive (A: as you have not suggested that that is in use) which should then
overwrite any legacy settings.
An alternative is to import a registry file at logon time that overwrites
the legacy settings for the "Hide Drives in Windows Explorer" policy.
Hope this helps.
Mike

Subject: [THIN] Local drives map but not visible - Can anyone help.....
Hi
Sorry to push the point on this but Ive had no feedback and users are
starting to complain big time. Here is the issue. When users run File
Explorer or Lotus Notes, they are supposed to get their local client drives
mapped. This is set in connection configuration and also in user manager.
I have also put in usrlogon.cmd a "net use c: \\client\c$".. The drives
actually get mapped (I can see the net use commands being successful) but
the c: drive is not visible. If I click Tools\Go To in File Explorer and
type c:, the c: drive becomes visible. I have fudged File Explorer by
using the following syntax:
U:\WTSRV\PubExplorer.exe /n,/e,"c:\"
By using the start in c:\, this makes the local client c: drive visible. I
cannot do this for Lotus Notes - I need to be able to find out why the
drive is not visible. If I use Winfile.exe, all mappings are visible
straight away (I don't particularly wish to replace File Explorer with
Winfile). We do run policies in our NT4 domain but nothing restricts drive
letters. We may have restricted some letters in the past but we have
opened them all up (unsure if users reg keys are not being updated). Does
anyone know what reg keys are responsible for making client drives visible
or have suggestions as to what may be causing this??.
Thanks
Anthony
