More info?)
darren,
thank you for your posting. as my english-knowledge is quit weak i'd like
to repeat your suggestion:
1. create a new custom adm file (example: hidedrive.adm)
2. in this adm file i create a new category (example: "Ts_HideDrive") with
my own combinations of the drives i want to hide)
3. i remove the 'HideDrives' section in the original distributed system.adm
4. i import this new adm template
is this correct ?
thank you very much
tim
