Restricting drives

Hello Kent,

Edit the permissions for the individual User to Deny access for that User.

Right-click, select Properties for the drive in question, Security tab, in
the upper box are the list of all user and group accounts. Click on the
Edit button. A permissions box will appear. Click on the username/account
that you wish to deny access to, and check the Deny boxes. Apply, OK etc.

Thank you for the info. I also read elsewhere that if you do not see the
specific users name in the box that contains all the users for the computer
that you have to add their name, and then you can set restrictions for that
particular user.

Hello Kent,

Yes, that is correct. If the user is not listed, you have to add them first
before applying permissions.
