There is the a built-in policy for this called Hide these specified drives in my computer, however they can only do the following: Restrict A and B drives only Restrict C drive only Restrict D drive only Restrict A, B and C drives only Restrict A, B, C and D drives only Restrict all drives Do not restrict drives As you may use different letters such as S drive you can create a .ADM file to hide the drive. 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.
