Using the techniques described in the KB (Q242092 - How to: 
Use System Policies to Hide Specific Drives) I've been able 
successfully hide drives located in a stand-alone WinNT 4.0 
Workstation.  The default user is only allowed to view 
their own personal drive/folders.  This process works fine 
when viewing directories using Win Explorer, My Computer, 
and the DOS prompt.  

One problem.  I just found that a user can view the hidden 
drives when attaching a file using OUTLOOK 98.  Using this 
technique the users is able to copy, cut, paste, or delete 
files on the hidden drives.

Any suggestions?
