    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 4 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.

  • @vincesanchez7790
    @vincesanchez7790 6 лет назад +1

    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 :)

    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
      @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
      @akshitagrawal607 6 лет назад +1

      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.

    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
      @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
    @omw9965 8 лет назад +2

    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
      @kingsley15  8 лет назад +1

      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

      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...

      You were suppose to leave your username as well... Anyway, you'll have to boot into safe mode - restart your PC, when its restarting, its usually F8 to get in. then change the policy on the drive to add you.

    I can no longer right click on my hard drives once i followed all your steps, it freezes...

      Well my steps are fine, it's about the permissions you set. Sounds like you blocked yourself by setting the wrong permission. Boot into safe mode and restore your permissions.

      @@kingsley15 I figured out myself by skipping all steps and jumped all the way doing the last step of the video. Which windows itself denys all current "allow" permissions by setting one deny on full control.

    How do I reverse what I did, I cannot save anything on the c drive. My C: drive is not access. Here is the error; 'cannot create folders or files in disk, please modify permissions.'

      You shouldn't really be doing this on your C drive (Boot drive)... Anyway, just add your username to the security permissions.

      I haven't try this yet but listening to the video over and over again, I'm almost certain I move the system from permissions...
