In our computer's hard drive, there are some important data and secret files, we do not want others to see, especially in the company's office computer, we always have some private or confidential documents, do not want to let anyone see.
Of course, as the installation of the operating system of the C disk, which has some important system files, is not allowed to let others casually modified or moved.
And in some cases, in order to protect our computer optical drive, increase its service life, we do not want to let others casually use their own optical drive and other drives to read the CD-ROM, installation programs and other operations.
In previous versions of the Win XP operating system, if you wanted to implement these features, we would have to modify the registry or modify the system files to implement these functions, or use third-party software to lock our computer's hard drive.
Now we don't have to modify the cumbersome registry, the system provides us with "Group Policy" This powerful function, we can set the "Group Policy" in the detailed parameters, to implement the limit drive and hidden drive.
And the operation is very convenient, a little computer basic knowledge of users can facilitate the implementation of a function. Here is a detailed introduction to the operation of the process.
First, limit the use of drives
If we don't want people to use our drives to view our more important and private files, or to modify the deletion of system files, such as the C disk of the installation system or the letter that contains some important files, we can restrict the use of an important drive by doing the following.
1, click Start, click "Run" in the menu, the system will open a "Run" dialog box, enter "Gpedit.msc" in this dialog box, click OK or press ENTER. The system automatically pops up a Group Policy window.
