This security setting determines whether removable floppy media are accessible to both local and remote users simultaneously.
If this policy is enabled, it allows only the interactively logged-on user to access removable floppy media. If this policy is enabled and no one is logged on interactively, the floppy can be accessed over the network.
Default: This policy is not defined and floppy disk drive access is not restricted to the locally logged-on user.
Fix:
(1) GPO: Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options!Devices: Restrict floppy access to locally logged-on user only
(2) REG: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon!AllocateFloppies
