Help with folder permissions for Pics, Videos, Documents etc
Hi all,
Not sure if I've selected the proper category here to post this type of question but feel free to move if so.
Anyway, I've got Windows installed on a 128GB SSD which is perfectly fine for the operating system and some apps, plus I have a 2TB hard drive as my D drive, but I want to move the folders such as:
- C:\Users\Alex\Documents
- C:\Users\Alex\Pictures
- C:\Users\Alex\Videos
and so on to another location, this being:
- D:\Home\Alex\Documents
- D:\Home\Alex\Pictures
- D:\Home\Alex\Videos
Obviously using the default folders (the C drive listings above) secures them to my user account in Windows, so if anyone else from another account tried to access them, they wouldn't be able to. But just having them on the D drive in custom folders like those above, surely means any other user would be able to access these from their account?
Sadly I am not very clued up with folder permissions in Windows, so can anyone advise what do I need to do to the folders in D:\Home\Alex to make them only accessible from my own user account, just as they would be if they were in the default Windows location of C:\Users\Alex?
Thanks
