I'm trying to create basically a guest account, but since Windows 10 doesn't have a guest account setting I am having to set up a normal account for this. I'm having trouble blocking access to my external hard drives for this account though.
When I go into Windows settings to change an account type in the "Family & other users" section, I can only select "Standard User" or "Administrator". So this guest account is a standard user, and my own login is an administrator, but I cannot change folder permissions for one and not the other.
When, for a folder, I go to properties > security > under "Group or user names", and try to edit "Users", it doesn't affect either account. If I edit "Authenticated Users", it affects both my own account and the guest account, even if I don't touch the "Administrators" group.
So I'm stuck. How do I edit permissions for that guest account and not my own?
