Hiding folders from other users...

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
 
Windows XP Pro allows you to set NTFS permissions. You can deny all access
to desired folders from other users. You can also encrypt folders so other
users cannot access them. I think encryption is available also on XP Home.
