Are you using XPPro. If so, go to the security tab on the
folder and remove the EVERYONE and USERS groups from that
folder. Then, ensure that your account appears there.

That'll do it.

But, will that keep any other employees from logging on to
the pc that need to?

 

[Guest]

No. This should not affect other user's abilities to
logon.

I assume that you are only protecting certain folders and
not trying to do this to the entire computer. THAT would
seriously hamper other users from using the computer very
well.

everyone and users groups are not on this folder.
