Just set the permissions so that only users who should have access do.

Right-click the drive
Properties
Security

Life's more painless for the brainless.

I have tried this, but in win explorer they still can see the drives and access the contents.

Any other suggestions? Maybe a setting in MMC console?

That would indicate your users accounts are admins and there is no restricting admins locally. You have to change the account type if you want to restrict.

Imagine the power if you knew how to internet search

I think you want to put a password protected on some partition, correct?

You can not protect a drive to a person who has physical access to it.
EFS have been bypassed long ago.
Might as well secure it with bubble gum.

Some newer computers now have a rather tight scheme tied to hardware that hasn't been publicly broken into. It will I assume in time.

I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.
