    Granting access to games that are on a restricted drive.


    Hello,
    I am struggling to set up an account for my girlfriend with the right permissions.

    I created an account for her on my windows 10 machine, and under security settings removed all permissions. I don't want her accessing D: Drive.

    However, all my games such as Sims 4 are installed on D: Drive, which means she can't launch them from that account.

    Is there a security setting I can use that allows her to play all the games under that drive, but not let her access all the files?

    Granted system32 Admin to access. How to revoke?

    As mentioned, permissions are used to grant or restrict access.

    Depends on what you want to accomplish.

    System32 is not actually restricted for read access, the USERS group has Read & execute, List folder contents, and Read access by default. Anyone, standard user or admin can see its contents. Its a few of its sub-folders that are more restricted.

    I'm just going to leave them as is now. I can't remember what other one prompted me, so I don't want to go changing permissions on ones I shouldn't. I know config did, and then one other after. I went this deep:
