Dale, Microsoft has restricted the Home users from using the Security tab.
Fortunately there is a work aroud: Restart in safe mode and you will see
it`s there
Click Advanced, Add..., Advanced, Find Now
Select your friend`s user name and click OK. Choose the permitions you want
to deny and click OK.
If you want to deny access to all information (subfolders and files), then
go ahead and check: "Replace permitions entries on all child...". Click OK.
Done!
Also make shure your friend has a limmited (User) account.
