    GPO stands for Group Policy Object, that is nothing more then choosing certain settings that define how the system will behave for different groups of users.
    GPO's can be set via snap-ins by the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), in C++, VB and others.

    If you are not familiar with it, check ( this faq out ).

    It doesn't prevent *.nix OS from seeing win's partitions... but you might get to hide the linux partition from the Win OS when using Explorer2fs.
    Something in the line of hiding the drive letter, not showing it up on 'My Comp' maybe? I do this for some private partitions but all the person needs to know is the name/letter of the partition and enter it on 'Explorer' and voila, access granted.

    Anyways Explore2fs can't read Reiser, so if this is so important to you just change the file system or encrypt the drive.

    Thanks for info. I don't understand much of MMC on the website, but I'll look into it.

    That's a good idea. I almost forgot about Reiser FS. I think I'll do that. It beats having to encrypt all the files.
    Never trouble another for what you can do for yourself.
