I was wondering if anyone here knows how to restrict access to a drive on your computer from certain accounts without having to encrypt? Anything?

This is possible, depends on the Operating System. What one are you dealing with?

NTFS partitions & permissions... they can click the drive, but will error our trying to access files or dirs... Please say you are not trying to restrict c:

No, wouldn't restrict that. Too important.

BTW.. you could mount the drive as a folder volume and then restrict permission to the containing folder.

The other users wouldn't even see it in explorer, and if they could find it, they still couldn't access it.

Of course, if they know how to use drive management...
