GPO - Hide Specific Partition

eitarad · 06-23-2008, 07:51 AM

Dear All,

I would like to create a Group Policy which will hide several specific partitions (this policy is intended to be implemented at my terminal server). I am using the following article:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/231289

Now, the problem is that i cannot find the "Windows Explorer" Section under User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Explorer.

As you can see in that article this IS the correct location it`s supposed to be at; I have also tried to do the same action at several other computers (some of them has XP installed and some has Server 2003) but i ran int the same problem , i just cannot find this "Windows Explorer" Object .

It just doesn`t makes any sense, the info that the article contains can`t be wrong, on the other side it is not possible that i have "some part missing" in my group policy editors because i have tried to do the same at several other Machines which resulted in the same problem.

Please, help me... Thank you!

Hey there, hope i can assist you.Now, browse to administrative templates section under User Configuration -> Administrative Templates ->
>Right click administrative templates
>Select add/remove templates
>Add the appropriate template
>In my guess, it would be conf.adm
Hope this helps
