We use computers. We use it together, with your parents, families and your friends. We thought it would be safe if we let them use your PC, but oopppss, they do delete your files and say sorry to you. Sorry didn’t make your files back to you. If you don’t want this disaster happen to you again, here’s a way to make it not happen again. Open folder options in control panel section and with View tab, you will see many options ahead. Find use simple file sharing option (XP), uncheck this and click OK.

After you did like above on XP, you can see the different now. Everytime you see the properties of every files or folders or drives (right-click and click Properties), see the tab, there will be a new tab called Security. Now we can start playing, choose a file, folder or drive that you want to be blocked so other users can’t access it. Click edit and you will see a new window to set permission. XP is the same either, I know these picture below are on Vista, I’m running Vista, so there is no picture for XP, but it’s should be easy since it’s not so different (so long XP =)). In this new window, you can edit permissions of each users in your computer. You can add a new user if their username isn’t there yet. Just remember do not restrict yourself, you must be idiotic silly, but since you’re admin, you can set the permissions again and again, God Bless You.
Security tab
So, let’s set the permission then. Check under ‘Deny’ if you those users can’t access your files etc and check under ‘Allow’ if you want users can do in that file. You can check Deny ‘Full Control’ if you want users can do nothing with your selected file or you may choose what actions a user can do and can’t do with that file. Click OK and now the other users that try to access or delete your priceless files again will find another way instead of Shift+DEL Enter and double-click.
Set permission window
Final words, may this post can help you and works fine. It works fine with my PC and my friend. So, it must be fine on your PC with Windows XP or above.
