How to Deny Access to a Particular Folder For a Guest User in Windows 7

Most of us use our computers in a shared in environment with our family members, friends etc. But sometimes we may want set some permissions so that we can actually restrict access to certain folders which do not lie in our My Documents, My Pictures etc.

In this case when you can restrict access to a particular folder which could be any where on your hard drive.

Step 1: Make sure you are logged in to an administrator account. Right-click on the folder you want to block from Guest users and open the Properties window.

Step 2: In the folder property window, open the Security tab and click on the Edit button to change the permission settings.

Step 3: You will see a list of groups and users of your system. As there’s no privilege level defined for Guest user here, click on the Add button to include the Guest user.

Step 4: In the Select Users or Groups window write down guest in the text box below Enter the object names to select and click on the button Check Names. Windows will now check for the user or group name for its existence. Once the window has identified the user, click on the Ok button.

Step 5: Now select the Guest user in the list, and check deny on the permissions you want to revoke from the user and click Ok.

Step 6: Window will ask you for your confirmation by a Security Warning dialog box. Click on Yes and wait for Windows to change attributes for the files.

From now on, if a guest user tries to access a folder you’ve denied them permission to, then he will be prompted to enter the admin password.
