How this works, Each letter is assigned a number base on binary location, to be able to block multiple drives you need to add the values of those drives together Drive Letter Value A 1 B 2 C 4 D 8 E 16 F 32 G 64 H 128 I 256 J 512 K 1024 L 2048 M 4096 N 8192 O 16384 P 32768 Q 65536 R 131072 S 262144 T 524288 U 1048576 V 2097152 W 4194304 X 8388608 Y 16777216 Z 33554432 ALL 67108863 Example: Block A & D = 9 To Create the administrative template open notepad and paste the following (this is the with the example mentioned above), then save the files as HideDriveBlockAD.adm or you can change it to match.
