Re: Preventing access to drives

There is an endless number of ways a user can potentially
get to a cmd prompt, or otherwise directly name a path,
and if NTFS permissions say it is OK it will work.
You can attempt to prevent the many ways users can find
to put things where you would not wish, but it can become
an endless effort. The technology designed for the purpose
is the one to use, NTFS permissions.

I've enabled both the "Prevent access to drives from My Computer" and
"Hide
these specified drives in My Computer".

All works fine except users can still type the path to a restricted drive
and save files to the location restricted by the GPO. I know that this is
explained in the GPO settings help but is there a way to prevent users
from
accessing the restricted drives by typing the path w/o changing
permissions?
