How to restrict drives on a user account through Windows Registry?
November 21st, 2009 | by admin |Hello
What registry value do you change to restrict the drives that some of the users can view? How do you change it back so that all drives can be viewed? I do not know anything about windows registry except how to get there ![]()
thanks for any help in advance!
Hi yeahyeahyeah,
You can use Tweak UI to restrict the drives, it’s very easy to manage.
To download the TweakUI 1.33 update from the Microsoft Web site, click the following link:

But if you wanna restrict drives by category, such as restrict all USB drives or restrict all CD-ROM drives for your Windows 2003 or XP, Mico$oft has a way to do it, check the following url,

If you know how to do it, it’s easier than TweakUI to manage your restricted drives.
If you still don’t how to do, just let me know, I can explain into details.
Good Luck!
