You need to be using ntfs file permissions and then do not give that
user/group any access permissions to the folders. Be careful using deny
permissions, because administrators are members of everyone and user group.
Log off/on to allow settings to take place before testing results and always
test your configuration before final implementation and perform a backup
before making any changes. --- Steve
