It is possible to not only deny permissions to a drive, but also to completely hide the drive from the user interface. Hiding drives from the interface can be done through group policies (either local policies or via Active Directory). Take a look at Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q231289: "Using Group Policy Objects to hide specified drives in My Computer for Windows 2000". Since Windows administration is quite off-topic, if you need further help please e-mail me off list. I haven't hidden drives from users before, but i work with someone who administers Windows and does this so it would be easy for me to ask more questions on how it is done. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dan Ramaley Dial Center 118, Drake University Network Programmer/Analyst 2407 Carpenter Ave +1 515 271-4540 Des Moines IA 50311 USA
