Restricting access to hard drives
    #5329883 -

I have two internal hard drives and one external drive.

I know I can't with the main drive, but is there any way to restrict access to the other internal drive and the external too? (although I could just unplug it)

This is a shared computer (I'm the Admin.)at times and I may have some material on the spare internal drive that may not be suitable for younger family members.

I've searched for ways to password protect them, but haven't been able to come up with anything. I may just be using the wrong terminology.

For some people, it is a frightening risk. To me, that's the psychedelic experience."

How about using a file hiding/encrypting program.

Thanks for verifying and making it easier for me to decide. :thumbup:

Windows still doesn't have any kind of file ownership/permissions? I guess I haven't missed much.
