Does anyone know how to restrict any folders on partition drive to users
with limited accounts. I haven't able to figure out to do that. I have
partition my hard drive and use the other drive for backups which in my case
is Drive E: Please let me know.
 
William,

The only way to set any kind of permissions on files/folders is if your
partition if formatted with NTFS. There is some good info here -
http://www.mcmcse.com/windows_xp/guides/filesystems.shtml. The next
question is what OS are you running? Professional or Home Edition? If you
are running Professional you have much more control over file/folder
security and you will have a Security tab present on file/folder property
sheets. If you are running Home Edition about the only thing you can do is
prevent other users from viewing files/folder in your personal directories
(%userprofile%).
