prevent users from saving to h/d

Prevent Users from saving to Desktop by GPO??? - Windows Server 2003

Hi


I have seen many threads related what I am asking , but I could not find step by step to do that .
Do I need a special group on the server and the edit group policy ?
Do I need to hide drives from users ?


I have been asked to do that for AD windows 2003 server , how can I prevent users domain from saving to his/her local drives (C, D, etc) , or my document or USB or CD.


I want to force him/her to save to a folder created on a server and mapped to his/her PC.


All workstations are windows XP professional SP3


I do not like to do it through each PC, I want to do it through server , I would assume we can do it,,,,wouldn't we ?



I know we have to do through GPO on a server,,,,could you please point me to step by step guide how to do that ?


Thanks

Using group policy, you can control which users are granted access to network resources. So you could make a folder for files that users can access, give permissions to the group, create a virtual drive for the folder, etc. Users could look at their computer and see this drive when it is in fact an alias for a folder or network drive. Depends on how elaborate this all would be in your work place.
