    nodrives registry key disappears

    (1) Our users are not using regedit to remove the registry key.
    (2) Nodrives was the last change to the registry
    (3) Hotfixes are not an issue

    (1) No one from the power users group or administrators group can
    execute regedit on our computers without some work. The application
    security properties have been denied. These properties must be
    returned to "allow" even for administrators to execute regedit. The
    Nodrives policy is disappearing from the registry on systems where
    regedit.exe remains denied. It is highly unlikely that "nodrives" is
    disappearing because regedit was executed.

    (2) On healthy, unaltered, computers the following points are true:
    Our administrative partition is not visable in Windows Explorer as
    desired. Search locations are limited, completely undesired. If
    Regedit is allowed to execute, it immediately displays Nodrives as the
    last policy view; it was the most recent edit. Since nodrives was the
    most recent policy edit, should I be looking at System Restore on the
    "broken" machines? We have not done a system restore manually.

    (3) It doesn't matter if security hotfixes are installed. I have seen
    various computers in various stages of update, some with the registry
    key and some without. There's no corrolation between hotfixes and the
    deleted registry key. XP SP2 performed exactly like XP SP1a.

    PLEASE ADVISE
