- For 32bit operating systems, navigate to registry path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARECitrixICA ClientEngineConfigurationAdvancedModulesClientDrive
- At the DisableDrives string value, add the value data as the Client Drive letters to be disabled. Do not add commas between drive letters while disabling multiple drives.
Disabling Specific Client Drive Mappings for a Web Interface Site
