Blocking Access to C drive

[Sunil K Upneja]

Blocking C drive in your computer prevents unwanted access and virus attack on your windows files. Here are the steps to do this:-
Open the ‘Run’ from start menu
Type gpedit.msc and press ok
Group policy menu will open
Go to User configuration / administrative templates / windows component / windows explorer on the left side screen.
On the right side screen right click on “Prevent access to drives from My Computer” and select Properties.
Click on the ‘Enable’
From the drop down menu select ‘Restrict C drive”
Click ‘Ok’
Now your C drive will be block and no one can access your windows files

 

Note : This works only in Windows 2000/XP professional edition.
