------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Nov 22 09:23:26 -0800 2006 ------- I opened this issue because I am (in my copious spare time) the maintainer of GTK+ on Windows, and a user complained that the GTK+ file chooser shows drives that should be hidden. I then realized that the same probably goes for OOo's own file picker, too. Anyway, it seems that the code required to determine which drives should be hidden is very simple: One just has to look at a DWORD value in the Registry, which is a bitmask, one but per drive letter. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/179221 That knowledge base article claims that it applies to Win98 and NT4, but presumably they just haven't updated the article text and it holds for current versions, too. Yeah, drive letters are a kinda stone age concept... I don't know whether there are other more modern ways to limit the browseability of network shares, or mounted volumes. But anyway, as a first cut it would be nice to at least obey the NoDrives setting. How to integrate such a check in a clean way into the OOo OfficeFilePicker I can't say. I could come up with a patch suggestion, unless you tell me you aren't interested? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
