It is believed that many inexperienced people don't know what to do about how to restrict access to computer disks in Windows XP group policy skills. Therefore, this article summarizes the causes and solutions of the problem. Through this article, I hope you can solve this problem.

The method of restricting access to computer disks is analyzed as follows:

Users who use computers have their own secret files, especially for business users, they are naturally unwilling to let others use their own computers, so as to avoid the disclosure of trade secrets. But sometimes I have to let others use my own computer, which is a bit difficult. In fact, we can lock the computer's hard drive through a simple setting, so that others can not access the restricted disk.

This method is set by Windows XP group policy, which is very convenient and practical.

1. First click "start → run" in the lower left corner of Windows, and enter "gpedit.msc" in the dialog box, which opens the Windows XP group policy settings window.

two。 Then in this window, open the Local computer Policy → user configuration → Administrative templates → Windows components → Windows Explorer option.

3. Find the "prevent access to drives from my computer" option in "Settings" on the right, right-click on the "unconfigured" section of this option, and select "Properties".

4. There are three options in the pop-up dialog box, namely, not configured, enabled, and disabled. Select enabled, and a drop-down list of selected drives will appear below. If you want to restrict access to a hard drive, hard disk partition, or even the use of a CD-ROM drive, just select that drive.

For example, if we want to restrict access to system disk C, select "restrict drive C only". If you want to turn off all hard drives, optical drives, etc., you can select "restrict all drives", and then click apply or OK to save settings.

5. Next, when you go to "my computer" and click on disk C or other restricted drives, an access failure prompt will appear.

It is worth mentioning that this method of setting Windows XP group policy is so secure that others cannot view files on the drive even through the Explorer, run dialog box, web browser, DIR command, and so on.

In this way, users will not be afraid of others discovering their secrets as long as they put all the important files in a partition and restrict them.
