Dear Team

I have configured group policy so that user can not access machine Drives. This policy is working fine but when user type C:\ in address bar of Firefox, user can view whole directory structure of C drive. It does n't work for IE.

When user type C:\ and press enter

Index of file:///c:/

ALL CONTENT is displayed.

An add-on would not be useful as Safe Mode would disable it.
