First off check the ntfs permissions on the root/drive folder to make sure
that the everyone group does not have full control. If it does change it to
read/list/execute. For the parent data folder give users group read/list
permissions and then give each user full control for their folder to see if
that helps and verify that only administrator and the user account is
included in the ntfs permissions and also check the advanced page for
properties/security to check special permissions. When you set permissions
on the main security page of a folder that will set security for folder,
subfolder, and files as seen in the advanced page where you cans see or edit
permissions for a user/group and select the apply onto box. --- Steve
