Damian,
It works fine here. Did it through Group Policy Editor and not through registry directly.

Thanks for helping!
Even though I did this, files can still be accessed. When logged on with an
account that has no access to, for example the D drive, you can go to
Start --> Run or just the address bar of any opened folder and type "D:\"
and there'll be a list with the folders, and you can go to "D:\Example\" and
it will list the files like "D:\Example\File1.txt" and by selecting that,
that files is opened.
Did I do something wrong?
