Set folder permissions for my Windows xp system

I use a computer in my dormitory and install ACDSee 6.0 in Windows. In order to facilitate the use of roommates, I don't want them to tamper with my files, installed software, or some other private privacy, so I open several "Restricted Accounts" for them ". However, the problem arises: Although "My Documents" can be set to dedicated, it is impossible for any file or software to be conveniently managed to exist in "My Documents; if there are other folders or other disks, the "restricted account" can be viewed and changed at will. How can I protect my private files? We know that folder permissions can be set in Windows XP. This function can be used to restrict others from using computers. Next we will take the "Tencent" folder in the directory where QQ is located under drive D as an example to introduce how to operate.

First, you must set the permission to the NTFS file system. If not, click "start"-"run" and enter "convert d:/fs: ntfs" (excluding quotation marks, d: The drive letter to be converted) to the NTFS file system. After the conversion is complete, open a folder, click "Tools"-"Folder Options" on the menu, and select "View" in the pop-up window "., Deselect "use simple file sharing (recommended)" and click "OK" to close the window.



Next, right-click the "Tencent" folder to which you want to set permissions and choose "properties"> "security". Then, you can see the permission setting window. In "group or user name", select "Users" and set permissions in "Users Permissions, you can restrict the "restricted account" of the roommates to use this folder. As long as you cancel the "read and run" item, the "restricted account" cannot open this folder, and the QQ in the folder cannot be used!



If someone else uses your computer, this method can effectively protect privacy, so you don't have to worry about others messing up your computer. Everything is up to you.
