To restrict E: drive use "16".

Thanks man..
Is there a option to restrict to a particular folder?

Vishal Gupta · 31-10-2007, 10:00 PM

^^ Nope. If you have NTFS parition, then you can restrict a folder with other users. Thats it.

^^ntfs permissions

Yep. You can restrict any user to access any drive/file in NTFS partitions. Enter in Properties and then you can do the thing in "Security" tab. Make sure that "Simple File Sharing" is disabled in "Folder Options", otherwise "Security" tab will not be visible.
