It's been a while since I last uploaded but here is my final video of 2014.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
This is a simple tutorial which many people with somewhat of an experience with PCs can do. Hopefully it helps you out, however if there are any questions please ask and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
**N.B - On the "SYSTEM" account**
"The system account and the administrator account (Administrators group) have the same file privileges, but they have different functions. The system account is used by the operating system and by services that run under Windows. There are many services and processes within Windows that need the capability to log on internally (for example during a Windows installation). The system account was designed for that purpose; it is an internal account, does not show up in User Manager, cannot be added to any groups, and cannot have user rights assigned to it. On the other hand, the system account does show up on an NTFS volume in File Manager in the Permissions portion of the Security menu. By default, the system account is granted full control to all files on an NTFS volume. Here the system account has the same functional privileges as the administrator account.
NOTE: Granting either account Administrators group file permissions does not implicitly give permission to the system account. The system account's permissions can be removed from a file but it is not recommended." (Microsoft) support.microsoft.com/kb/120929

I believe it works only within one Windows instance. And if you had another one you still would be able to override the access. As you can easily access other user profiles on the pc if you boot from external drive.

@kornelijekovac9793 3 года назад

Yes, but this is just changing File & Folder Permissions. I don't wanna do that every time I want to give or restrict access to users. It's it's getting impractical for >1 GB drives. Is there any way that you could actually restrict the hard drive access with one click, and give it back, without altering permissions.

@mihalyfreeman5928 2 года назад

And happens if the user tries to install a application? Will it allow him/her to install to the c: drive? I thought a better option would have been Group Policy instead of messing with permissions in my opinion that is a far better option.

@kingsley15 2 года назад

If they don't have write permission then they cannot install apps. Group policies can also work but this is how I do it because it stays with the drive as opposed to just the OS. That way if anyone takes my drive, the restrictions will still apply. Unless they take ownership of course.

@omw9965 7 лет назад

I have a question which no one can answer or has not yet answered, I have one extra hard drive that I want my family to use for storage, I want them to access same hard drive but only their own folder within that hard drive, without being able to access any other folder. The same thing you did but with folders on that extra installed hard drive, is it possible?

@kingsley15 7 лет назад

Yes of course, it is definitely possible. In fact I have a setup just like that on my home server PC on a drive called "share drive" (featured in this video as "#Network Share" 0:57). I've a folder called Admin, only my admins can access and configure, and then 3 more folders only the allowed users I gave permission to, can access and configure anything within their folders. The steps are almost similar to this video.... To answer your question in its simplest form: lets assume you have family A & family B as users on your PC. Create the two folders for them within the "extra drive", don't edit the drive like I did in this video, but just edit each folder the same way I did in this video, so right click the folder>properties>security etc... See where I chose "ADMIN-owner" username? you'd need to chose only family A's username and "SYSTEM" for family A's folder and vise versa with family B... That's pretty much it. Please don't forget, always make sure to include "SYSTEM" and with full control. Reason why: If anything goes wrong and no one can access a particular directory you set permission to, then SYSTEM will allow you access to edit the permissions again, but you'll have to boot into safe mode. Anyway, that is the quickest and easiest way for me to explain it, of course you may want to consider other permission settings like: can they delete or edit their folders, sub-folders, files. Or create something within their folder etc... However, this would take a bit of time to explain via text and it might confuse you (maybe I already have by now. lol)

@kingsley15 7 лет назад

Funnily enough, your question is actually something I wanted to make a video of, around the same time I uploaded this video. I thought no one would watch it, so I never made it... I think I might make it soon, seeing as you're interested and it's been a while since I made a helpful video.

@vincesanchez7790 6 лет назад

The easy way on windows 10 is : 1st step: Create a microsoft account (Make sure your account set to administrator and have full control) step 2: go to ur drive and click properties step 3: Find and click security step 4: click edit final step 5: Uncheck or deny the "User" that u want to disable or Denied to access the drive Make sure your account have full access to the drive:) Microsoft account will help u a lot this is the 2018 way to block other user access:) Note: make sure u dont uncheck the system because system is ur Main administrator :)

Because your account doesn't have permission. Did you select Administrators or Administrator? You need to add yourself.

@deruboiii4724 7 лет назад

the problem with this is, when another user downloads anything, they can access the drives when they get a popup where to save the download and see contents

@kingsley15 7 лет назад

No they cannot... It will still prompt access denied. Even if you took the physical drive out and connect it to another system, it will still prompt access denied. Only way to bypass this is by formatting the drive or using third party software to remove the security policy. Try this video using a USB. You'll see for yourself...

@akshitagrawal607 6 лет назад

thanks for this. I have 2 questions. 1) How do we block the documents, downloads etc. folders. 2) Can we prevent a user from accessing the desktop. Not viewing or opening but creating or editing files. thanks in advance

@kingsley15 6 лет назад

1. It's the same process only this time you have to locate the document and download folder and set the permissions, as far as I'm aware document and download folders are available for each individual user on your system, so therefore you'd have to access the directory for each user. By default they should be private to the specific user, the documents folder is but I'm not too sure about the downloads folder. 2. The desktop is also specific for each individual user, however, there's also a public desktop. To answer your question, I don't think you can set write permission without setting read. But honestly I've never tried that, I will when I'm home from work and let you know. It would make sense that you can.

@akshitagrawal607 6 лет назад

thanks for the prompt reply. I tried it, if we go to the user's desktop folder and set only read permission. Then the user can read documents but cannot edit anything on the desktop. If we disable all permissions, then the user cannot see anything on the desktop or create a file etc. The same goes for documents and downloads. Thank you.

@DAVID-li7hq 7 лет назад

Hey guys I need a reply quick,so if I were to insert this hard drive to another laptop will it still be secured

@kingsley15 7 лет назад

Yes and No. It depends on whether you have the same user login details on the laptop. In most cases the drive will still be secure because the allowed users will show as an encrypted key when the drive is used on a different PC. In order to access the same permission, you'd have to have the same allowed user login details no the new PC. Does that make sense?

@052ashishranjan6 2 года назад

Please I need help as I did whatever was told in the video but recently I have to format my system so I did but now it's not giving me the access to the other drives saying you can't access as you are not the administer what to do please help

@052ashishranjan6 2 года назад

There are a lot of important files in it so please give some solution

@kingsley15 2 года назад

Boot into safe boot and change the permissions. When you formatted, it created unknown user. You can also try to create the exact same username and password and it could pick it up.
