Hey Kingsley, Thank you so much for your video. I run into a problem though. I accidentally removed all users including my account and system and now I can't access my drive D. How can I retrieve access to Drive D? Please advise. Thanks
The easy way on windows 10 is : 1st step: Create a microsoft account (Make sure your account set to administrator and have full control) step 2: go to ur drive and click properties step 3: Find and click security step 4: click edit final step 5: Uncheck or deny the "User" that u want to disable or Denied to access the drive Make sure your account have full access to the drive:) Microsoft account will help u a lot this is the 2018 way to block other user access:) Note: make sure u dont uncheck the system because system is ur Main administrator :)
Yes you can do that, you just need to read up on NTFS permissions. I plan on doing some tutorials on NTFS sometime this year. It will feature what you're looking for.
Thank you soo much you helped me deal with this problem perfectly! Please make a video on Microsoft word and excel. How to learn working on them. Thank you.
Great! happy to help. I have a second channel called Software Basics (LINK: goo.gl/99Ptyb) This were I make MS Office tutorials and other basic software related videos!

Yes, but this is just changing File & Folder Permissions. I don't wanna do that every time I want to give or restrict access to users. It's it's getting impractical for >1 GB drives. Is there any way that you could actually restrict the hard drive access with one click, and give it back, without altering permissions.
Please somebody help me...🥺🙏🏻 Mistakenly i haven't gave the permission of 'FULL CONTROL' to my User name...and i am not able to Change it again... I have done everything same ,but in my Admin User i only have permission to 'Read & Execute'... Please Kindly provide me solution 🥺😭
i managed to stop access to users but also cant have full control or modify on admin, i stopped it after pressing apply because i seen i had not selected full control and modify and now i cant fix that.
Dude I didnt modify access to give all permission in that drive now I can't do any changes 😓😭 please help. Can't add or remove even the buttons are grey
thanks for this. I have 2 questions. 1) How do we block the documents, downloads etc. folders. 2) Can we prevent a user from accessing the desktop. Not viewing or opening but creating or editing files. thanks in advance
1. It's the same process only this time you have to locate the document and download folder and set the permissions, as far as I'm aware document and download folders are available for each individual user on your system, so therefore you'd have to access the directory for each user. By default they should be private to the specific user, the documents folder is but I'm not too sure about the downloads folder. 2. The desktop is also specific for each individual user, however, there's also a public desktop. To answer your question, I don't think you can set write permission without setting read. But honestly I've never tried that, I will when I'm home from work and let you know. It would make sense that you can.
thanks for the prompt reply. I tried it, if we go to the user's desktop folder and set only read permission. Then the user can read documents but cannot edit anything on the desktop. If we disable all permissions, then the user cannot see anything on the desktop or create a file etc. The same goes for documents and downloads. Thank you.
I have a question which no one can answer or has not yet answered, I have one extra hard drive that I want my family to use for storage, I want them to access same hard drive but only their own folder within that hard drive, without being able to access any other folder. The same thing you did but with folders on that extra installed hard drive, is it possible?
Yes of course, it is definitely possible. In fact I have a setup just like that on my home server PC on a drive called "share drive" (featured in this video as "#Network Share" 0:57). I've a folder called Admin, only my admins can access and configure, and then 3 more folders only the allowed users I gave permission to, can access and configure anything within their folders. The steps are almost similar to this video.... To answer your question in its simplest form: lets assume you have family A & family B as users on your PC. Create the two folders for them within the "extra drive", don't edit the drive like I did in this video, but just edit each folder the same way I did in this video, so right click the folder>properties>security etc... See where I chose "ADMIN-owner" username? you'd need to chose only family A's username and "SYSTEM" for family A's folder and vise versa with family B... That's pretty much it. Please don't forget, always make sure to include "SYSTEM" and with full control. Reason why: If anything goes wrong and no one can access a particular directory you set permission to, then SYSTEM will allow you access to edit the permissions again, but you'll have to boot into safe mode. Anyway, that is the quickest and easiest way for me to explain it, of course you may want to consider other permission settings like: can they delete or edit their folders, sub-folders, files. Or create something within their folder etc... However, this would take a bit of time to explain via text and it might confuse you (maybe I already have by now. lol)
Funnily enough, your question is actually something I wanted to make a video of, around the same time I uploaded this video. I thought no one would watch it, so I never made it... I think I might make it soon, seeing as you're interested and it's been a while since I made a helpful video.
when you get to: Select User Group/Find now/Search results = long list of ("users") I want to erase, delete, borrar adios! How can I do this, in the users appear in box Search results ? Please :)
I tried it from admin account, then I went to guest account and tried to alter what I did from admin account and I was successful, I just added the same guest user and changed back to allow on security tab from guest account windows 10 latest, kinda big glitch in the matrix.
I can't find the difference between giving permission to 'Administrator and 'Adminstrators'... can anybody tell me? Also, what is 'Authenticated Users'??
And happens if the user tries to install a application? Will it allow him/her to install to the c: drive? I thought a better option would have been Group Policy instead of messing with permissions in my opinion that is a far better option.
If they don't have write permission then they cannot install apps. Group policies can also work but this is how I do it because it stays with the drive as opposed to just the OS. That way if anyone takes my drive, the restrictions will still apply. Unless they take ownership of course.
the problem with this is, when another user downloads anything, they can access the drives when they get a popup where to save the download and see contents
No they cannot... It will still prompt access denied. Even if you took the physical drive out and connect it to another system, it will still prompt access denied. Only way to bypass this is by formatting the drive or using third party software to remove the security policy. Try this video using a USB. You'll see for yourself...
Ok, so, I've done this BUT, as I've logged back into the user profile I've just removed access from, I can still right click the drive and add the profile back in! How do I stop this guest profile having any rights whatsoever when it comes to granting access? Thanks 👍
How to partition individually both account admin and user ?(For eg) My lap is 500 gb HDD ok I used admin and user account same partitionBut i want excatly it means adming d,e,f 200 gb and user account d,e,f 200 gb individually Can u help me kingsley tech ? Thank u

Please I need help as I did whatever was told in the video but recently I have to format my system so I did but now it's not giving me the access to the other drives saying you can't access as you are not the administer what to do please help
Boot into safe boot and change the permissions. When you formatted, it created unknown user. You can also try to create the exact same username and password and it could pick it up.
Well my steps are fine, it's about the permissions you set. Sounds like you blocked yourself by setting the wrong permission. Boot into safe mode and restore your permissions.
@@kingsley15 I figured out myself by skipping all steps and jumped all the way doing the last step of the video. Which windows itself denys all current "allow" permissions by setting one deny on full control.
hello there I have removed all except SYSTEM and now I am unable to get write permission to add group and account... plz help I am in a very big problem I guess... all my data is inaccessible now
Sudarshan Mehra You were suppose to leave your username as well... Anyway, you'll have to boot into safe mode - restart your PC, when its restarting, its usually F8 to get in. then change the policy on the drive to add you.
Will I have the permission to run executable files such as games,while I'm logged in as a guest? (these files are already on guest's desktop but their data files are in disc's folder)
Stathis Iakovidis If you give the "Everyone" or "Users" Group permission then yes. Guest account will not have access without the necessary connection. Hope that answers your question, I wasn't too sure what you were trying to ask but I think I got it.
