You can do it by domain group by using a Policy within CMC. First, create a
domain group of users that need that Floppy access. Then, go to Policies from
within CMC, create a new one, and, for the people who need access, you can turn
it on here. Then just set the policy to the correct group.
Should work fine.

Subject: [THIN] [THIN ] Floppy Seeking in MetaFrame XP
Hi! I'm new(-ish) to the list and this is my first post so please be
gentle. ;)
I'm using 2K Server/MF XP with a variety of clients on the desktop.
I've looked throught the list archives, Thin FAQ and the Citrix KB.
That done, I'll admit to being a bit confused on the so-called
"Floppy Seek" issue.
Here's my problem SOME of my users need floppy access thru Citrix
but ALL are not too happy (ha!) with the floppy being accessed if
they log into Citrix, go to My Computer, or do a File, Open in an
application.
What I've seen reccommended is:
1. A registry hack
- HKCU\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogin\Parse
- Autoexec REG_SZ=1
- Change the value from 1 to 0
- Ensure that the Windows Explorer view is set to a view different
than "Details".
2. A module.ini hack
(in the module.ini file on the client PC, find the [ClientDrive]
section.
DisableDrives = A)
3. Batch file line added in 2K profile for clients:
NET USE A: \\CLIENT\A$
None of these are satisfactory. The first doesn't seem to do
anything (and the key doesn't even exist in 9x)
and the second results in no floppy access at all. And the third
seeks the floppy on the server.
Ideal for the users would be to disable the floppy and then
re-enable it thru a batch file for those users that require it.
Question: is this possible?
PS This is an Thin Client excellent resource - thanks for the
excellent reading!
Bye for now,
