How to restrict drives on a user account through Windows Registry?

Hello
What registry value do you change to restrict the drives that some of the users can view? How do you change it back so that all drives can be viewed? I do not know anything about windows registry except how to get there 
thanks for any help in advance!

Hi yeahyeahyeah,
You can use Tweak UI to restrict the drives, it’s very easy to manage.
To download the TweakUI 1.33 update from the Microsoft Web site, click the following link:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
But if you wanna restrict drives by category, such as restrict all USB drives or restrict all CD-ROM drives for your Windows 2003 or XP, Mico$oft has a way to do it, check the following url,
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555324/en-us
If you know how to do it, it’s easier than TweakUI to manage your restricted drives.
If you still don’t how to do, just let me know, I can explain into details.
Good Luck!

I’m not sure off the top of my head about the registry. Maybe this link will help: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=327976
If you’re using XP Pro, I know you can use the local policy editor to restrict drives. Just type gpedit.msc into Start => Run to open it.
