Win 7 Folder permissions

[peige]

I managed to restrict a folder under vista so that only I could access it using permission but I can't figure it out on win7.. two users, the second being the kids as a standard user, what do I do to stop the second user having access to a folder.

My first attempt resulting in me not being allowed access

You can just make sure only your username is in the list of allowed users. Remove Authenticated Users too.

The other way is to add the kid's account to the list and explicitly Deny them access by checking the Deny Full Control.

Where is the folder? If it is a subfolder within your Users folder then they don't have access by design without you having to configure anything.

Sorted it now, added kids to the user list with a Deny or two ticked

Couldn't do it the other way as it was on a different hard drive..
