Remove/disable the CD-ROM drive? You haven't given us enough information
to get a more focused answer. See: http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm

Sorry!
to make it simple... i want to prevent any user to store/save anything in C:
drive (including desktop). User can only run applications and open files in
C: .
Other h/w feature remain working.

Are you using XP Home or Pro? With Pro, you can use group policies to
control a lot - although there's a bit of a learning curve there, and you
should be careful that you don't lock yourself out of the house, as it were.
With Home, you're sort of out of luck, although you might check out Doug
Knox's "Security Console for XP" at www.dougknox.com

Users will need NTFS write permissions to save files to any folder assuming
the drive is formatted with NTFS. Assuming they are only regular users and
not power users or administrators they mostly can only save files to their
user profile under documents and settings and maybe the shared folder in the
all users profile. You also want to check the permissions of the root/drive
folder to make sure users can not create folders/files in special
permissions that you can see in the advanced tab for security for folder
properties. For instance in a users desktop folder you could remove their
permission for write and then they could not save to their desktop. If you
are using XP Pro you can also implement disk quotas to manage the amount of
space a user can use on a disk volume. You may also find the free Shared
Computer Toolkit from Microsoft helpful in restricting users.. --- Steve
