 Hi,

I enabled Restrict All Drives in Group Policy in User Config. But the
Administrator is not able to view any of the drives.

What do I need to do in order to block all Users execpt Administrator.

Thanks
Dib

 If this is a stand-alone outside of domains, then local group policy
always applies equally to all accounts.
If this is being applied from AD based GPO then where you have
defined this you should set the GPO to do security group filtering
so that it does not apply to the domain accounts that are admins on
those machines. It will still have the same effect on local accounts.

To add to what Roger advised if these are XP Pro non domain computers you
can use the free Shared Computer Toolkit from Microsoft to lockdown users
without affecting administrator or other accounts you do not want to lock
down. It is available at the link below. --- Steve
