How do I prevent other users on my computer from accessing files and such? I know you're supposed to drag and drop files to the shared folders thing... but I want to block folders that are on my D drive. I tried right clicking and going to the sharing properties but the option to unshare the drive is unavailable... anyone know anything I can do to prevent other users from accessing some folders?
