I have an issue and cannot find an alternative. Using Active Directory Group Policy Management.


Prevent access to drives from My Computer Restrict C drive only

In Windows XP this policy works as expected.

In Windows 7 this policy hides everything in the Users' profile "My Documents" and even when I changed it to c:\profiles.

Odd thing is, if you save a document to the "Desktop", you can see the saved documents.

If would like to find the alternative of this policy for Windows 7?

Hello,

See if you can follow this instruction. I've also attached an image, this is from Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise GPO.
