It's important to note that Policy Editor will not prevent write access to
C: drive, only that it hides the C: drive icon in My Computer. The
Windows95 common Open/Save dialog still lets one type "C:\*.*" and display
all directories and files on C: drive. The only ways around this are either
to use 3rd party security software, to use 16-bit apps with the old Open/Save
dialogs, or to hide and make read-only all the files you don't want users
to see in the Open/Save dialogs. Policy Editor is very limited in this
regard.
