making folders private

[Guest]

I would like to make certain files, folders and drives
private on my computer. I have attempted to do so by
going to my computer, right clicking the drive, selecting
sharing and security. The problem is on every attempt the
making folders private box is grayed out and I cannot
make the change. I have converted all files and drives to
ntfs.
Thanks
