Restricting access to folders -Windows 7

[DiG]

Hi,
I've got a Windows 7 HTPC with an admin account and a standard account. I want to stop the standard account having access to some folders.

I have tried right click -> security and setting Deny for all the permissions for the standard account. But they can still access the folders! Worse than that the standard account can even change the permissions back to allow without the admin password!

What am I doing wrong?

Can you change which user group the user is in? Sounds like something is overriding the unique security settings you are applying. Right click on my computer and go to manage, take a look at the users and computers section.
