Solved How to Deny Access to 1 Drive for 1 Standard user

How can I deny access to 1 HDD for 1 User ? I have had a look at this but that is for all users

Hello,

Since you know what you are doing, instructions scant!

• Right click on Drive in Question
• Properties
• Security Tab
• Edit
• Add
• Advanced
• Find Now
• Double Click on User Account to Block
• OK
• Full Control, under Deny
• Apply
• Continue x lots
• OK

If this is not enough, or you want more sophisticated control, just ask.

Sorry, I don't quite understand you, so if I misunderstand you, please explain again This would only deny access to that account, your account would stay the same.

Sorry I mean when I apply this security feature to the Files and folders onto the HDD and then add more Files and Folders to that HDD, Will the new Files and Folders have the security Feature?

Sorry If I am still Vague I can Put it into different words

Many Thanks,
Josh

I know what you mean now! No, the files themselves won't, but the drive will, and that will not change, and so the end result is that the other user won't be able to access anything, because he won't be able to get to the files which are unlocked, so don't worry! If this user is really clever with computers, he may still be able to access it, but it will take a bit of work, maybe a program or boot CD, but it will show "Access is Denied" and this stops most users.
