I have changed the system.adm in the folder with the same UID as shown = in the properties for the GPO to contain the extra drives but going back = into the GPO the changes are not shown. Is there anything else I have = to do?

No...you are obviously using an AD domain......go into AD Users and Computers, open the policy in question and look at its properties. This will give you the UID you are looking for. Now browse to the folder of = the same name and change this system.adm. If you are using standard adm = file (ie you haven't modified them before) I can send one that will do the = job for you if you like....just let me know what drives you want hiding.
