NT 4.0 policies do take some steps to remove. You can't just uncheck the
setting and get things to work unfortunately. 

But I believe the reg key you're looking for is here . . . 

HKCU\software\microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Policies\explorer\nodrives

Try setting the value to '0' for a user or two as opposed to just deleting
it. Look in the 'volatile environment' to determine which user you're
messing with. Have them log off after the change and then back in. You
should see your drives. . . in fact, with a setting of 0, you'll see all
drives on the system.

I changed the policy to "Show all drives".  Sounds like users registry
settings are not being overwritten.  If someone could tell me what keys set
"show all drives", I'll create a reg file that runs in usrlogon.cmd which
hopefully may fix it..

Thanks

When you say you opened them all up again, how did you do it. Did you
specifically open them up or just remove the policy entry to disable them?
Removing the policy entry will open them for new users but existing users
will keep the previous setting. You should explicitly open the drives up
again.

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

PS - We are running WTS / Metaframe XPe 1.0
