Make sure you have the policy enabled for prevent access to drives is
enabled and nor just "hide drives". You also need to be sure that users can
not get to a command prompt some how as they will be able to access drives
that way. Otherwise be sure ntfs permissions are not such that the kiosk
user has write/modify permissions anywhere on the computer. In a default
install excessive permissions may exist in the root.drive folder, the user
profile by default gives the user ownership and full control permissions to
the profile folders, and the all users profile allows users to write to
possibly application data and documents folders if you look in the security
page/advanced for special permissions for users. Of course the kiosk user
should only be a regular user. --- Steve
