file folder security W2Kpro

My hard drive is partitioned so that I have a c: drive and a d: drive

I have set up user accounts for everyone in my household plus frequently visiting relatives. For this reason I keep my confidential file folders on d: drive and everything else on c: drive.
The individual who set this computer up for me in this manner told me that "users" did not have access to folders on d: drive.
I have since found out otherwise when I logged on as one of the users and had full access to folders on d:.
I have tried to find somewhere to limit folder rights for users.
I've gone to where I thought would be the most logical place:
control panel/administrative tools/computer management/local users and groups/users/action/properties..... but come up empty.
The boxes for "user profile path" and "local path" are all blank.

Can admin restrict "users" from folder access on a particular drive? If so, how??

Thanks in advance

 

In Windows Explorer, right-click on the drive and select the Security tab.

Add your user account and give it full rights.

Delete all other users/groups from security.

Take Ownership of the drive with your user account.

Deed done.

BTW - make sure to ADD yourself BEFORE you remove the others. And do delete the others rather than use the Deny option. Had a fella one time go into security and opt to deny the Everyone group access.

Guess what? He found out that 2K uses 'most restrictive' so that if you have yourself with full rights and Everyone with no rights, you got no rights.
