REgistry value to restrict access in drive ...

Hi! is there anyway in the registry that will disable access to drive c:? or to a particular folder?

Not that I know of but if you right click on a folder you should be able to change the security settings to prevent users from accessing it (assuming XP or 2000+ with NTFS parts)

its working great! although it is not in the registry but who cares its what i need.

*Now how can I limit the access only to one person for example the administrator?

*one thing why users who do not have access to the files can still change the permission if they type:
cacls "C:\Documents and Settings" /E /P Admin:F ?

thanks
