Bryan-

 I haven't written my own ADM file yet; but, I have modified a default .adm file
drives.  Here's how...

 Look for the following line in the admin.adm file:

   VALUEON NUMERIC 67108863 ; low 26 bits on (1 bit per drive)

 Now the fun begins...Open up calculator and enter 67108863 in and convert it to
that it translates to 26 1's.  And those 26 1's represent, you guessed it, drive
to throw you off, they made the order of the drives from Z to A.

 So, for example, say you wanted to hide everything but the A drive.  Change the
1's into a "0" and convert that binary number back into decimal (it should be 67
number into your admin.adm file and select the Hide Drives in My Computer policy
everything but the A drive.  Get real slick and you can modify the String in adm
A Drive" or something to that effect.  The punchline to all this binary <-> deci
stored in the registry for this policy is a hex value.

 I admit it's kind of crude, but it really does work.  Beware you can still get
window.
