I have hidden drives via policies. Works OK in explore etc - NO "A", NO "C". However using MS word, etc. these programs can still see those drives. How do I correct this?
Example: I need to hide harddrive so students don't see winpopup.exe. They open word, say open file, scroll harddrive and execute program. I have removed program, but still need to hide drive due to numerous other .exe on drive we can't remove! HELP!!!

Try this

Hive HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM
Key CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
Name AutoShareServer
Type REG_DWORD
Value 0

This should stop sharing of hiden shares (C and D).
