[WEB4LIB] Windows 2000 restrictions

[Jane Frasier]

Use Group Policy.  There is a setting there under User configuration |
Administrative Templates | Windows Components | WIndows Explorer | Hide
these specified drives in My Computer.

Currently we are setting a number of restrictions on the local computer's
group policy because we don't have our Windows 2000 servers and active
directory implemented yet.
