Drive security settings in Windows 8 Pro
- by Donotalo
My PC OS is Windows 8 Pro x64. Windows 8 seems confusing.
D:\ drive is supposed to be used solely by a single user, who is in Users group of the PC. The requirement is...
that user will have full control of D drive.
Admins will have full control of D drive.
All other users can only list drive contents. No file could be opened.
My account is admin account. From D drive's property Security tab, I've set the following:
Allow "List folder contents" for Authenticated Users group.
Allow "Full control" for SYSTEM.
Allow "Full control" to specific user, who's supposed to use the drive.
Allow "Full control" for Administrators group of the computer.
Allow "List folder contents" for Users group.
After setting this up, the specific user have full control of D drive. No other user can open any file on D drive.
But though my account is an admin account, no file on D drive could be opened from my account! Why is this happening and how files can be opened from my account?
Note: All accounts in this PC are local accounts.
