| | Restricting drives I'm trying to restrict access to one of my disk drives to other users of my computer. I've tried to deny access to users under the Security Tab in the Properties. All this does is deny access to all users. How do I deny access to the drive to only one user? If anyone can help I would appreciate it. |

| | Re: Restricting drives Hello Kent, Edit the permissions for the individual User to Deny access for that User. Right-click, select Properties for the drive in question, Security tab, in the upper box are the list of all user and group accounts. Click on the Edit button. A permissions box will appear. Click on the username/account that you wish to deny access to, and check the Deny boxes. Apply, OK etc. -- Jane, not plain 64 bit enabled :-)Batteries not included.

| | Re: Restricting drives Thank you for the info. I also read elsewhere that if you do not see the specific users name in the box that contains all the users for the computer that you have to add their name, and then you can set restrictions for that particular user.

| | Re: Restricting drives Hello Kent, Yes, that is correct. If the user is not listed, you have to add them first before applying permissions. -- Jane, not plain 64 bit enabled :-)Batteries not included.
