Click OK.
In Windows Me/98, pcAnywhere lets you limit a user's access to computer drives
on the host. This includes floppy disk drives, CD-ROM drives, local drives (for
example, drive C), and network drives. This option is not available in Windows
XP/2003 Server/2000/NT because these operating systems provide their own
methods of drive security (for example, user rights, group policies, and file and
folder permissions).
Restricting access or limiting access to certain drives can also prevent remote
users from performing some tasks. To let remote users transfer, synchronize, or
clone files on a local or network drive, you must allow full access to that drive.
Symantec pcAnywhere lets administrators control access rights through the use
of centralized policy management.
For more information, see the Symantec pcAnywhere Administrator's Guide.
