Xp user permission

[ashaikh01]

I have winxp pro installed on my pc. Currently there are four partitions. I have two logons. One is the administrator logon and a user logon. How can i prevent the user logon from viewing the partitions?

A good question is half of knowledge

Have a look at things like this, but make sure anything changed applies to the correct user and not the real Admin. You may have to make the user an Admin temporarily while making registry changes and revert them back to just a user afterward.

You can change the permissions on the partitions you want to disable for the specified user. Logged on to the Admin account Right click the Drive, for which to alter the permissions, and look at Sharing and Permissions, Instead of having it set to Everyone. Just set it to the Admin Account. The regular User will not have access to that partition even though the user can see it.

You can then hide it as per the thread linney provided
