You need to do this manually via the Registry.
If you have access to the user's Desktop, click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Right click in the right pane and select New, DWord Value. Name it NoViewOnDrive. Double click the value you just created and set it to the number that equals the drive(s) you want to restrict
A = 1
B = 2
C = 4
D = 8
E = 16
F = 32
and etc..............
The numbers are additive. So to hide A, D and E the number would be 25 (decimal) or 19 (hexadecimal).
If you don't have direct access to the user's desktop, see www.dougknox.com, Win XP Tips, Advanced Registry Editing.
