hidden c drive -what type of problems

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.group_policy (More info?)

Hi all,
I have hidden the c: drive using group policies.
I have come across some programs that say they work with Windows XP but am
getting what seems to be permissions errors.
One error involves a program that translates languages.
Could the hidden c: drive be causing this? The users have modify rights to
the folder where the program is installed and I even edited the registry to
give the users permissions as modify to that programs folder. This program
creates temp files under the users documents and settings\local\temp folder.
(Also, the users my documents is redirected to the server.) and the user is
saving that file to my documents.
The program is Systran Office translator.
Has anyone else ran across this problem. The support people for Systran
doesn't seem to have a solution since it works when I logon as the
Administrator.
Thanks for any help,
Sher

Hi,

The Hiding drive C: Group Policy doesn’t affect programs at all.
However, it would only have difficulties if you chose the "restrict"
drive C: Group Policy.

This is a permissions error. I have a program you can try that I use.
Run it and then point to the Systran program .exe and it will scan
your HD, run the program, and then when done scan your HD again making
note of ALL the files and registry entries changed. It may be just one
file here or there that you are having problems with. More than likely
an .ini in the C:\Windows directory. You will have to decipher as
many entries don’t relate to the program and are just "windows busy"
work going on while you are running it.
