Hi
I am using Windows XP home edition.
I have created 4 HD drives. I want the access rights is such a way that when
I log in as administrator I should get access to all the drives, and when I
log in as any other user I should get access to C: only.

Is it possible in Windows XP home ? If yes how to do it
 
XP Home: By default, you can only make files and folders under My Documents "private". This is done by right clicking a folder or file and selecting Properties, Sharing. To change the permissions on other folders, you need to boot the computer to Safe Mode and log in on the built in Administrator account. In this mode, you'll see the Security tab in Properties, and you can assign permissions based on user name or group membership.

Do NOT use DENY permissions. Instead uncheck Allow permissions. Ensure that your user group and your user account have access.
