Can I hide entire drives from other users on the same machine?

Is there any way to hide folders (better yet, entire drives) from other
users on the same XP machine. Windows says that you can only hide folders in
the "your documents" folder on an NTFS partitioned drive. Is there any way
around this? perhaps third party software...

thanks,

kristan
 
XP home or XP Pro? In pro you can turn simple file sharing off and then deny
access to all the other users on the computer.
(I've heard in xp home you can do this in safe mode)
 
go to; start, run.
Type; gpedit.msc
navigate to; User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Explorer\
Somewhere in there is there setting you want to enable.
