Hello.
I was playing with the security of the pc asnd realised that the guest /
limited accounts on my pc have full access to all files on my computer.
I've tried creating new account names as administrators but still the
documnts belonging the the admins are still accessible by any account on the
pc.

You can help.

Cheers

What you need to do in this case is set the security level of the users
group.

Right click the folder/drive which you want access to be denied to user
only,

Select Properties, then the Security tab, and on the list of " Group of
User names: " listbox, there should be sometihng in the area of

Users(<computername>\Users)

if it is not there, click the Add button, and set the location to your
local computer ( by click Locations... ) and typing in Users as the
object names to select


Highlight/select Users(computername\Users) and on the 2nd listbox ( the
box under the User names and groups list ), set the permissions for
Read & Execute to Deny ( by ticking the box under the Deny column )


If this does not actually work, and you can do this for an entire
drive, or a folder and all those under it, tick all the boxes under the
Deny column of the permissions box.


I hope that helped,

Luc S. contact me if it did not, and I will contact you with a more
thorough step-by step guide.
