What you need to do in this case is set the security level of the users
group.
Right click the folder/drive which you want access to be denied to user
only,
Select Properties, then the Security tab, and on the list of " Group of
User names: " listbox, there should be sometihng in the area of
Users(<computername>\Users)
if it is not there, click the Add button, and set the location to your
local computer ( by click Locations... ) and typing in Users as the
object names to select
Highlight/select Users(computername\Users) and on the 2nd listbox ( the
box under the User names and groups list ), set the permissions for
Read & Execute to Deny ( by ticking the box under the Deny column )
If this does not actually work, and you can do this for an entire
drive, or a folder and all those under it, tick all the boxes under the
Deny column of the permissions box.
I hope that helped,
Luc S. contact me if it did not, and I will contact you with a more
thorough step-by step guide.
