Subject: User Policy Not Working On Workgroup Computer

Hello,

I am trying to lock up some desktops by running a registy script
file (.reg). However, on some computers I am having troubles. For
example I change the following:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
\Explorer]
"NoDrives"=dword:00000008

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
\Explorer]
"NoViewOnDrive"=dword:00000008

This should remove and restrict access to the D drive. But on several
workstations I can verify the registry was changed, but I can see the
drives in Explorer and in My Computer. I also tried the Group Policy
MMC and still the drives were not restricted. Could a Local Computer
Policy override this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Ryan
