I think i should ask yöü first regarding vista or xp and post a thread

Ok saw it but a bit confused.
Ok i have three drives.c,d,e

Now i want to block e: and if possible a folder or two.

How to do it-

I saw the decimal and all but kinda confused.
Can yöü help?

To restrict E: drive use "16".

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

 

[Vishal Gupta]

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

^^ntfs permissions

 

[Vishal Gupta]

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.

i had a bitter expirience with simple file sharing ...
my os got corrupt i needed to install it again .. when i did i t didnt allow me to view those folder

is there anyother way ..

or is it ok with vista ???

 

[Vishal Gupta]

^^ Seems you don't have sufficient permissions on that folder. Use following method:

Add Take Ownership Option in File / Folder Context Menu in Windows Vista
