Multiple users and volume permissions
-
Under windows Vista I have set up a few non-admin users. On the Same PC I have several volumes which contain sensitive files. I have been playing around with the volumes permissions but so far have not been able to achieve the desired result. I want the other users to be able to see the volume in "My Computer" but be unable to access them without the administrators password. i.e. double clicking on the volume a UAC box should appear prompting for the password. Does anybody know how this can be done?

If you right click on the drive you want to restrict, click on properties and go to the "security" tab, you can change the security permissions for the drive. If you only allow administrators to be able to access the drive content, I believe that if a non-administrator tries to access the drive a UAC box will appear and ask for the administrator password. Hope this helps, --Perspx
