Access to the resource [mapped drive letter] has been disallowed.
We've recently upgraded our network - Win2000 Servers to Win2003, desktops to
WinXP. Now some groups are restricted from accessing drives when they type the drive letter in the address bar. The error message reads: Address Bar Access to the resource [drive letter] has been disallowed. The group does have other GPOs that are limiting access to such things as Run and the Control Panel. The error appears whether they try to access a local drive (c or a mapped drive (such as q:\). It's particularly troubling as I can't narrow down how to begin troubleshooting this. I've looked through GPOs and can't find anything that would limit drive letter access in the address bar. Any help? |

Try running rsop.msc on an XP Pro computer while logged on as a user
experiencing the problem or from a Windows 2003 domain controller using the RSOP mmc snapin. In particular look at restrictions in user configuration/administrative templates/Windows components/Windows Explorer. Steve "David Dawson" wrote in message ...

Access to the resource [mapped drive letter] has been disallow
Thanks Steve,
Thanks. That helped. The setting, however, turned out to be a bit obscure. It was in - User Configuration - Administrative Templates - Start Menu and Task Bar - Remove Run menu from Start Menu The fine print shows what our problem was: Allows you to remove the Run command from the Start menu, Internet Explorer, and Task Manager. If you enable this setting, the following changes occur: (1) The Run command is removed from the Start menu. (2) The New Task (Run) command is removed from Task Manager. (3) The user will be blocked from entering the following into the Internet Explorer Address Bar: --- A UNC path: \\server\share ---Accessing local drives: e.g., C: --- Accessing local folders: e.g., \temp Also, users with extended keyboards will no longer be able to display the Run dialog box by pressing the Application key (the key with the Windows logo) + R. If you disable or do not configure this setting, users will be able to access the Run command in the Start menu and in Task Manager and use the Internet Explorer Address Bar. Note:This setting affects the specified interface only. It does not prevent users from using other methods to run programs. Note: It is a requirement for third-party applications with Windows 2000 or later certification to adhere to this setting. ------- david dawson | systems engineer | community IT innovators - CITI | 202-234-1600 ext. 384 | |

Glad you got it sorted out and thanks for reporting back what you found.
Curios that removing run from the start menu would do all that! Steve "David Dawson" wrote in message ... Thanks Steve, Thanks. That helped. The setting, however, turned out to be a bit obscure.
