| Share permissions do not regulate access from the local computer only over a network. To control local access, you need to have an NTFS drive, disable simple file sharing, then use NTFS security permissions to contol access.

| On a FAT32 drive, the only way to control access to files and folders when someone is sitting at your PC is to use third party software. Suggest nosing around downloads.com.
