Dear all,

I am using win 2k3. I want to hide a single drive in local computer for all
users except administrator. I know that i need to make a registry change for
that. But i want to know that except administrator or other user i desired,
whatever user logons that drive should be hidden. How to do that?. I have a
registry tweak which will hide only for particular user. But i need to access
that drive only for that particular user and not for any other domain user
logon.

Any help please

Thanks in advance,
chandra

Hi,

Instead of registry changes you can use local policy on the server (if it is
not a member of domain). Then use this KB article on how to avoid applying
this policy to administrator http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325351
