Disable access to folder

How do i stop all users being able to access a folder on my c:\ drive. This is also the location of my temp & temporary internet files folders, so is there any way i can block users from being able to access it, without affecting IE and other stuff that needs the temp folder?

You could always hide the folder! There might be a way to set premissions on it also! I will look further when I get home to a vista machine.

i've never used it, but try parental controls. i think you have to enter a password for the file you want to access.

Since you have Vista Ultimate, right click the temp folder and encrypt it. However you'll occasionally have to decrpyt it as some installer break with an encrypted %temp% folder.
