Windows 10: Restricting other user permission to my private disk.

Hi,In the next few days I have to share my laptop for another user in my company. Of course I won't allow him to use my account, so I created a guest account at "Other users" tab account without Microsoft account.Things went fine, until I check File Explorer and found my "Local Disk E:" still exist. All of my crucial information is there, and I don't want any negative outcomes to occur.So I want to restrict that account's permission. I've searched the internet, it tells me to go to File Explorer > right click on "Local Disk E:" > Properties > Security > Edit. But I'm not sure

:)

Need some restriction of my standard user in my PC

The easiest way to restrict a standard user from accessing the files of another user account is by ensuring that the files are saved to the
C:\Users\<AdministratorUsername> folder or the %userprofiles% folder. If a standard user attempts to access the files from the said folder, by default, it would instantly prompt for the administrator's credentials in order
to access it.

If you wish to put restrictions on a specific file, you may follow the steps below:

• Right-click on the specific file and choose Properties.
  
• Choose Security tab.
  
• Click Edit.
  
• Choose Add.
  
• Type the username, click Check Name and then, hit
  OK.
  
• You can now manage the restrictions for the user profile, under Permissions for <username>.

If you wanted to set a restriction on the Local Drive, follow these steps:

• Double-click This PC.
  
• Right-click on Local Disk (C.
  
• Choose Properties.
  
• Select Security tab.
  
• Click Edit.
  
• Choose Add.
  
• Type the username, click Check Name and then, hit OK.
• Set the level of restriction for the said drive.

Making a restricted user account

There is this:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/...rosoft-privacy

but note when you look at the Settings options it says




For folders, 'List folder contents' can be assigned permissions- how helpful that might be for O/S folders and what adverse effects it could have if restricted for a given user I have no idea. Just a thought..




Permissions for data is the relatively easy bit.
