Microsoft Windows XP Pro SP2 and Windows 2000 Server SP4 running Active Directory allow local users to bypass group policies that restrict access to hidden drives by using the browse feature in Office 10 applications such as Word or Excel, or using a flash drive. NOTE: this issue has been disputed in a followup post.
