    If your PC uses many users, you would like to restrict access to its drives to prevent users from deleting valuable data.
    First type gpedit.msc in the search box of the Start Menu and press Enter.
    Now go to User Configuration >> Administrative Templates >>Windows Components >>Windows Explorer. After that on the right side under Setting>> double click on Prevent access to drives from My Computer.
    Choose Enable afterward under Options from the drop down menu you can restrict a specific drive, restrict them all. The main drive possibly would like to restrict is the C:\ drive. Restricting the entire drives means they cannot access the CD or DVD drive, and cannot use a flash drive if they require getting files from it.
    The restrictions gives effect instantaneously, no reboot is required. When a user opens up My Computer they will be see which drives are listed, but when they try to access a restricted drive, they will obtain the following error message.
