OK, after some testing, and some luck, I managed to figure it out:

I assumed that this had to be a Windows Explorer GPO problem, so I looked in
that section.  I just chnaged every setting back to "not configured" and
found that the problem went away.  I then worked through each setting and
found that "Allow only per user or approved shell extensions" was the
problem.  Setting it to "not configured" fixed the problem.

Now, can anyone give me a good reason why this setting should prevent a user
from accessing local drives on their client PC?

Thanks,

Matt

Subject: GPO setting for local drive access


This is probably an obvious problem, but...

Windows 2003 server - all current hotfixes applied.  Using Terminal Services
to give users a remote dekstop.  Locked down users cannot access local
drives (IE, C on LOCALPC), but all other users can.  

So, I've been trying to compare GPO settings to see if there is anything
obvious that is preventing this access, but I can't as of yet figure it out.
The same user taken out of the locked-down group is able to access the local
drives.

Anyone know which setting to look at (you'll be saving me hours of
comparitive logging in and out)?

Thanks,

Matt
