Nope. It sure doesn't. For lack of any text book explanation,
the GPO does not prevent the application from accessing the
system on behalf of the user, whereas typing "C:\" in the address
bar is the user attempting to access the file system with their
own system rights.
Therefore, you sometimes have to restrict the command line and/or
.cmd/.bat. Else a really tricky fella could call a batch file
from the address bar that executes "Start cmd" or some other
silliness.
In fact, I have yet to see this policy break any application,
even scripts or batch files.
