Re: How to make a drive private



If the F drive is formatted with FAT you need to first convert it
so that it is NTFS formatted. See Convert
If the F drive is NTFS formatted, then open a cmd window
start / run cmd
and into it enter
cacls F: /t /g administrators:f

This will make it so that administrative account and only administrative
accounts will be able to access anything on the F: drive

You are not able to "make private" in the user interface as that
feature is only for a couple of specific areas, like the user's own
profile storage. What the above has done is equivalent provided
that only you have admin accounts.
