You need to edit the .ADM file that you are using to something like
below.....

POLICY !!NoDrives 
            EXPLAIN !!NoDrives_Help
            PART !!NoDrivesDropdown     DROPDOWNLIST NOSORT REQUIRED
                VALUENAME "NoDrives"
                ITEMLIST
                    NAME !!ABOnly           VALUE NUMERIC       3
                    NAME !!COnly            VALUE NUMERIC       4
                    NAME !!DOnly            VALUE NUMERIC       8
                    NAME !!ABConly          VALUE NUMERIC       7
                    NAME !!ABCDOnly         VALUE NUMERIC       15
                    NAME !!MNOPOnly         VALUE NUMERIC       61440
                    NAME !!ALLDrives        VALUE NUMERIC       67108863
DEFAULT 
                         ; low 26 bits on (1 bit per drive)
                    NAME !!RestNoDrives     VALUE NUMERIC       0
                END ITEMLIST
            END PART                    
        END POLICY

        POLICY !!NoViewOnDrive
            EXPLAIN !!NoViewOnDrive_Help
            PART !!NoDrivesDropdown     DROPDOWNLIST NOSORT REQUIRED
                VALUENAME "NoViewOnDrive"
                ITEMLIST
                    NAME !!ABOnly           VALUE NUMERIC       3
                    NAME !!COnly            VALUE NUMERIC       4
                    NAME !!DOnly            VALUE NUMERIC       8
                    NAME !!ABConly          VALUE NUMERIC       7
                    NAME !!ABCDOnly         VALUE NUMERIC       15
                    NAME !!MNOPOnly         VALUE NUMERIC       61440
                    NAME !!ALLDrives        VALUE NUMERIC       67108863
DEFAULT 
                         ; low 26 bits on (1 bit per drive)
                    NAME !!RestNoDrives     VALUE NUMERIC       0
                END ITEMLIST
            END PART                    
        END POLICY

Remember to edit the bottom of the ADM to reflect the changes in the policy
section.  There are loads of tools to figure out the decimal for the drives
to hide, but this can just as easily be done with notepad and calc.exe.  Add
1 under the drive you want to hide, copy the string of number into calc.exe,
whilst in scientific view with biary selected and then tick the dec radio
button....hey presto.

Subject: [THIN] Using GPO to hide drives...




I have used the GPO "Hide these specificed drives in My Computer" and =
"Prevent access to drives from My Computer" in the past to restrict = access
to the C: and D: drives.  I now want to do the same but for the =
N: and M: drive, however the only options in the drop down list are for =
the A,B,C & D drives only.

Is there a way I can include N and M in the list?

Thanks,

Steve
