It's a little bit more complicated, I want to hide or deny use of the network location in Windows explorer to domain users, but I also need to give them access to mapped network devices and I can't disable network discovery because every user has a shared folder for update backup and scanner purposes.



Here's a screen capture to show what I want:



Network folder unavailable to the user



The idea is prevent users from wandering the net. Basic and curious users at least.

To hide the network node, you can create the following registry value on the computers:




HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesNonEnumF02C1A0D-BE21-4350-88B0-7367FC96EF3C




Type: REG_DWORD



Data: 1



This will prevent Windows Explorer from listing this node.
