Hiding folders and files
Hiding folders and files
Hey there, I hope everything is going well! I'm assisting a friend with cleaning and organizing his computer. All his files are stored on an internal HDD, and Windows 8 was installed on one of the two hard drives. He now plans to install Windows and software only on one 500 GB drive, while the other will be used for media files. We created two user accounts—his (Admin) and another for the family—and moved his Music, Video, and Picture libraries, as well as his Download folder, to a secondary HDD in the same folder name as his current account. The main challenge is that he wants to restrict access to his files from the other account, while still allowing full access to both drives. He wants his folder hidden or blocked for the other user, but still able to find it if needed. How would you handle this? Thanks a lot!
Thank you for the feedback. That would indeed prevent the other user from accessing their own libraries on the second drive. I’ll keep you updated once I have access to that PC.
