72148 2002-08-18 07:11:00 I see when you right click on our hard drive (and any folder for that matter) that there is a security setting which looks like you can restrict the open/witting/reading of the files. We have 3 partitions (each user has a "drive") and mine is E:\. I am a limited user.Is there a way to stop other users (including Admin) even opening the E:\ drive?? Just wondering. Thanks

I asked something similar recently - look in this post.

Of course if someone has admin rights its pretty easy to get around this..
so to answer your question as best I know - no you cannot keep an admin out of a directory.

(for this type of security use pgp).
