In my opinion, there are two ways to do that:
1. Configure group policies to prevent user from access the specific drive. The policies is: "Prevent access to drive on my computer".
2. If you are running on NTFS file system, you can configure the security for the specific drive to allow specific user to access it.

Run regedit.exe
go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer
Then create a DWORD key and name it as NoDrives and set value as ffffff0h.
It work only in NT,XP,9x

This is only possible if you have an MSDN Subscription. If you do, then you already know where to get it.

Why it is too late?

Why it is not available to the public?

In both cases, go ask Microsoft...

Ever since installing Win2K3 I've had trouble with IE6. It constantly blocks ActiveX content, even for sites in the Trusted zone. I've modified the zone security settings to enable absolutely everything, but it hasn't changed the behavior. There must be some setting elsewhere that I haven't found - any clues?

Under the help menu in IE (on Server 2003) look for "Enhanced Security Configuration"
It has the instuctions how to configure it various ways.
Under "Apply Windows 2000 default Internet Explorer security settings" is the removal instructions to set it back to Pre-Enhanced Security Configuration.

"Enhanced Security Configuration"

Roger Wright,
hmmm.. I think I be checking that 2003 machine to see if it was compromised by some malware, spyware or ect..
Anyway, Here's is how is says to remove it:
'------------------------------------------------
Apply Windows 2000 default Internet Explorer security settings
If Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration is enabled on your server, you may find it necessary to use the default Internet Explorer security settings of Windows 2000.
1. Open Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs, and then click Add/Remove Windows Components.
2. Select Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration, click the check box to clear the selection, and then click OK.
3. Click Next and then click Finish.
4. Restart Internet Explorer to apply the changes.
Important
When you restore Windows 2000 security settings for Internet Explorer, you also restore the lists of Trusted sites and Local intranet sites that were in effect at the time Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration was applied.
Applying the Windows 2000 default Internet Explorer security settings increases your server's exposure to potential attacks from malicious Web-based content.
'------------------------------------------------
Hope it helps...

Computers in a network(LAN) are displayed in the workgroup(may be mshome,or other). How to get the list of these computers(DNS name or IP Addesses).Some PCs are displayed but they are not on a network, it means somewhere some information is stored in the temp file or registry.where these temp dirctories are stored?
|
|
|
|
|
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\WorkgroupCrawler\Shares
The location is stored in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Map Network Drive MRU
The Mount Points are stored in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2
example: ##WhateverShare#WhateverShareFolder
And by classId stored in the hidden desktop.ini file and target.lnk
files located in the system hidden folder:
<drive>:]\Documents and Settings\<whateveruser>\NetHood
By UNC Paths.

I've been logging into my windows xp machine under a user thats a member of the administrators group, i know this bacause i checked "User Accounts" and it even says i'm Computer administrator with password protection.
My question is why do some programs like taskmgr is saying "Task Manager has been desabled by your administrator" when i try to open it?
Theirs a hudge possiblility for maleware also, but i'd like to try and fight it so i can learn from it.
Are there any patches for taskmgr for this sort of thing?

Look for an entry in Group Policy. I couldn't tell you where to look, since it confuses the heck out of me, too, but it's in there.

Follow the link Roath posted. It has nothing to do with you being, or not being, an Admin. It has everything to do with being disabled by Policy, without any regard to who you are.
Because of a Policy restriction, the machine is just not allowed to run Task manager. It's that simple.
