Default How to lock drive?


I want to lock a drive of my computers so that they cannot be accessed by the students of my computer Institute. Is there any freeware for it?

If the computer is Win XP Pro, you can set the students account to limited account, set "Use Simple file sharing" to no in Folder Options and then go ahead and set access prevension for students account...

If not, please inform your OS.

You can hide drives with a software called "TWEAKUI", which is basically a powertoy for windows, you can download it from
