My drives are installed as per normal on the workstations and no
permissions have been changed. I thought it may be some service, etc
that accesses the C drive during bootup or logon that may be causing
this. I have had no luck so far.

Nothing in terms of TechNet articles either.

I have seen this error in the context of providing inadequate access to
either Documents and Settings or the systemroot. You generally should
not modify the permissions on Documents and Settings since each user is
required to be able to modify his/her profile upon logon and moreover
the default acls on this tree are quite strong. As for systemroot, you
may find that granting Execute for Authenticated Users will clear up
many problems.

        I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this annoyance.
        
        I have restricted access to local hard drives for users but when
they
        log in they get a message stating "Operation Cancelled due to
        restrictions on this Computer". This also happen in some
software when
        they try using a dropdown box for opening/saving data.
        
        Is there a way to remove this message via registry, etc. while
still
        keeping the restrictions in place?
        
        Thanks,
