    I want to hide specific drives for my non-admin accounts, how ?


    I want to hide specific drives for my non-admin accounts ,
    but at the same time those drives must be visible for my Admin win 7 account !!

    how ?

    I used advanced drive protector soft and little little others
    but they hide and lock drive for all users

    I want to make unique rules for non-admin user
    Thanks in Advanced

    I do not know any way to do that but is it necessary to hide them to non-admin accounts?

    You can just disable read and write access to account specified if you have multiple accounts on drive's properties. This way non-admin account can see the drive but cannot have access to it. I hope I'm right and hope this help. :)

    What kind of drives are they? It's a second physical disk? A partition of a single disk? Something else?

    @LogicEarth

    yeah I did it , Deny access for that user and allow for all
    we have to click ""Find now"" users,groups.etc inside it
    then add that user and deny access
    enjoy

    @Alejandro085 its partion dude , but remember u can add these security to portable HDD and internet HDD too
    it works
    e.g. if u allow acess to only that pc's single admin
    and then u boot into another OS , that time u will even able to access those drives
    u have to apply settings carefully
