Can't Block/Hide Particular Drive with GPO

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Dear All,

I've setup up a custom ADM to block all drives on a system, except the Z
drive which is mapped to a folder for the person to be able to save out...

All the Drives get blocked, except the E drive (well the Z drive is visible,
but that was intended)

I'm using the value of '01111111111111111111111111' or 33554431 decimal,
which is correct, right?

Why would the E Drive be visible in 'My Computer' ?

Regards
Paul.
