Hidden Drives

About this task

Through the Webspace Admin Console, administrators can hide drives on the client machine where the Webspace session runs, such as the operating system drive, floppy drive, and CD ROM drive. Hidden drives are inaccessible to the user through the Webspace session.

Procedure

  1. From the Webspace Admin Console, on the server list, select the desired server.
  2. On the Tools menu, click Host Options. The Host Options dialog box appears.
  3. Click the Client Access tab.
  4. Select the Drives check box.
  5. In the Hide field, enter the client drive letters you want to hide.
    Note: All client drives are mapped by default. Drives listed in the Hide box can be listed in any order. To hide server drives, see Hiding Server Drives. 
  6. Click OK.

    The following figure shows an example of hidden H, J, and K drives, along with drives P through S.

    Microsoft's Group Policy Objects lets you hide specific host drives. For instructions, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/231289. To hide host drives, the Apply Group Policy option must be enabled in the Host Options dialog box in the Webspace Admin Console application.
