    Setting up another user file under Local Disk C/ Users


    I have setup my wife as a family member. How does one setup a folder for her in Local Disk C/ Users?


    I have tried simply adding a file but it is not as secure as my folder. I say this as when linking to another computer I see Default and Public and the added folder but not my folder. How do I make her folder unseen?

    :)

    Unable to set restriction for local user in Windows 10

    Hi,



    I realized your concern and will assist you to resolve the issue.


    • How did you noticed that user is still able to access the drive?

    • Did you log into the local user account and check the permission?
    I suggest you to follow the steps below to restrict the user.

    • In File Explorer, right click on the drive which you want to restrict.
    • Click Properties.
    • Click the Security tab.
    • Click on Edit to change the permissions.
    • Uncheck all the permission for system.
    • Click OK and make sure the change is applied to all subfolders and files.


    Your reply is very important for us to ensure a proper resolution. Please get back to us with the above information in order to assist you accordingly.

    Thanks and regards.

  3. Mystery local user present with no account

    Good afternoon Andre,

    Thank you for your feedback, most appreciated. I tried both of your suggestions and the 1st5 user was not listed in either, just my original local user name was listed. I also tried to cut the 1st5 user folder from the C;/users listing and paste it to a
    thumb drive so I didn't loose it but I got this error code, 0x80070057, that prevents me from moving it saying the "parameter is incorrect". Any other suggestions would be welcomed.

    R/Confused

    Also when I got the error I mentioned above there was a Folder with a person's picture and MY local user name, not the 1st5 user name.

    Setting up another user file under Local Disk C/ Users

    Current active users that are friends

    The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.
