"C" Drive invisible to XP limited users?
Hi all,
I am configuring around 30 windows xp pro workstations, which will work as stand alone PCs at different rural offices. I am planning to increase its security settings to keep the operating system running as long as possible. I created a limited user account on each machine, no one can install any software except the admin account. Just wondering whether i can hide "C" drive and only let the users to save their files on the "D" drive....any idea i can achieve this goal? any further security setting suggestions are highly appreciated. Thanks heaps! Karen |

"C" Drive invisible to XP limited users?
since all the Windows and other programs are on the C: drive, nothing
will work for limited user accounts if you remove access to the C: drive ("hide it"). if the future, kindly use microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers for basic questions regarding Windows 101 Karen wrote: Hi all, I am configuring around 30 windows xp pro workstations, which will work as stand alone PCs at different rural offices.
