Make good use of Group Policy to manage WinXP

Xiaoyu installed a WinXP system on a unit equipped with Win2k (Win2k installed in C drive, WinXP installed on E drive), not long after, troubles came, due to the two systems They can access each other's files on each other's partitions, and the love machine is not a single fool. There are many rookies to visit frequently. Some rookies often accidentally delete important files on another operating system. The result is that another system crashes. How to do? What do you say? Of course, it’s hard work for you. Everyone is a colleague. You can still...

After several such tossings, Xiaoyu thought: “I have to find a way to deal with these rookies. It's not just a system crash, I have to crash!" But what is the best way? Xiao Yu invited the "old bird" Dongdong.

Dongdong: Don't let the rookies play around?

Xiaoyu: Not good, not good, this can affect the relationship between colleagues, and then, some rookies are my leaders.

Dongdong: Give everyone a wake up and ask them not to delete files.

Xiaoyu: Well, it’s not good, not afraid of 10,000, just in case!

......

Dongdong: With, isolate the partitions where the two systems are located so that they cannot access each other.

Xiaoyu: Great, I just want to be like this.

Dongdong: Well, let me teach you a trick, using the "group policy" provided by Win2k/WinXP to achieve, simple and practical.

Xiaoyu: What is "group strategy"?

Dongdong: "Group Policy" is a management unit used by Win2k/WinXP to help users customize their computer. It has the same powerful functions as the "Registry Editor", but it uses more than " The Registry Editor is much more convenient.

Xiaoyu: Then let's talk about how to operate!

Dongdong: Don't worry, let's take a look at the arrangement of your hard disk partition.

Xiaoyu: My hard drive is IBM Tenglong three generations of 30G, divided into four areas, C, D, E, F, are NTFS format, Win2k system and its application software installed in C drive, WinXP And its application software is installed in the E disk. D and F are used to store data.

Dongdong: Fortunately, you didn't put two systems on one partition.

Xiaoyu: I am not so "dish".

Dongdong: Then let's get started.

Start WinXP system first, log in as the computer administrator user.

Xiaoyu: Ok, no problem, the user I am currently logged into belongs to the administrator group.

Dongdong: Let's do what I said below!

1. Click the "Start" button, select "Run", enter "gpedit.msc" in the dialog box, and then click "OK" to open the "Group Policy Editor".

2. In the left pane of the Group Policy window, open User Configuration - Administrative Templates - Windows Components - Windows Explorer.

3. In the right pane, find the item "Hide these specified drives in ‘My Computer'” and double-click to open it.

4. In the pop-up dialog box, select the "Enabled" item, then select "Restrict drive C only" in the list of drives under it, and then click "OK".

7. Close the Group Policy window.

(4) In the pop-up dialog box, select "Change", and then select a new drive letter for the partition, such as the Z drive.

(5), repeat steps (3), (4), change the partition where the original E disk is located (WinXP system partition) to D drive.

(6), repeat steps (3), (4), and change the above Z disk to E disk.

Dongdong: Yes, that's it. I didn't expect you to be quite skilled in this move. Let's know what to do.

Xiaoyu: No Problem. Open the "Group Policy" window, and follow the steps of 3, 4, 5, and 6 that you are talking about. (Select "Restrict only drive D").

Dongdong: Right, right. Sure enough, the Confucian can teach!

Xiaoyu: Winning prizes.

Dongdong: How, I am right, use group strategy to solve your troubles, is it very simple!

Xiaoyu: It’s not a "old bird", it is easy to get it. Now, I don't have to worry about the rookie deleting my files.

Dongdong: Good, look at your humility and good learning, and give you some tips:

1. When installing dual systems, it is best to install two systems in different ways. On the partition.

2, group policy only Win2K and WinXP, Win9X does not support.

3, if Win9X and Win2k or WinXP coexist, Win9X can be installed in the FAT32 partition, Win2k or WinXP is installed in the NTFS partition, and then set the Win9X partition in Win2k or WinXP using Group Policy. Hide and block access. Because Win9X itself does not support access to the NTFS file system, it can also achieve dual system isolation.
