Locking Folders To Other Users [Windows 10]

[InfernoxCJC]

Hello again Tom's!
Hope everyone is well

I store all my Documents and Media on a Secondary HDD on my Home PC and am looking for a way to lock my Family members out of said folder (it contains nothing untoward I assure you)

Now, if this folder was on my Windows SSD I know to go to Properties > Security and then Deny "Full Control" to each user. However, for whatever reason, the other users of the PC do not show up in the Security Tab.

If anyone could assist I would be very grateful!

could encrypt it i suppose

Use Truecrypt, more than secure enough to use against friends and family.

other option is just zip it with 7zip or something and password it

though if you access it often or its really big that could get tedious

Thanks for your input thus far.
I'll look into Encryption, I mean it isn't really that big a deal. I was more curious as to why the other Users aren't being displayed in the Security Tab? Could it be because they are Local Accounts as opposed to Microsoft Accounts?

or since you have windows 10 you could just use a batch file

that could password it and make it hidden from view as well
