Windows 10: Restrict another admin from accessing a drive

Hi, I need to hide my drive D from another administrator on my PC, so they can't open it.I think it's done from the permissions settings, but I don't wanna mess anything up. Can anyone provide me with a step-by-step tutorial? Thank youI'm using Windows 10 pro - 21H2

Cannot access shared network drive


Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


If this helps.
step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
step 3a remove Everyone from list
step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.

 

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.
