I have two user accounts, one is an administrator. I don't want the
standard
account to be able to view the data in my account. I tried to "un-share
folders but I keep getting this error message 'You could not stop
sharing
the selected folder.' Further info says that this folder is in a shared
folder, huh? It shouldn't be. Any answers?
Thank you,
Ed H

Sharing has got nothing to do with whether or not local users can
access each others files. You need to look at permissions to accomplish
this:
- Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder containing the
folder to want to block. For example, "D:"
- Right-click on the folder for which you want to change the
permissions, and select "Properties".
- Click on the "Security" tab to open it
- Click "Advanced"
- Click "Edit"
- Remove the check from hte "Include ingeritable permissions..." box
- Click "Copy"
- Click "OK"
- Click "OK"
- Click "Edit"
- Click "Add"
- Click "Advanced"
- Click "Find Now"
- Find your username in the list, and double-click it
- Click "OK"
- Make sure your user name is selcted, then add a check to the "Full
Control Box"
- Click "OK"
- Click "Edit"
- Highlight the "Users" item in the "Group or user names" list
- Click "Remove"
- If you want, repeat steps 19 & 20 above for the "Administrators"
group (NOT RECOMMENDED)
- Click "OK"
- Click "OK"
If all is well, you should have sole access to that particular folder.
But use caution when modifying security permissions, as incorrect
changes could render the folder inaccesible to everyone, including the
system. So make double-sure of what you are doing before proceeding. If
you are unsure of what you are doing, then it is best to leave it be -
you have ben warned!
