I am running windows 7 x64.
I am sharing my PC with a brother who plays a lot of games and runs all kinds of questionable programs that might have trojans, etc. A lot of that software needs admin privileges to install/run, especially the games. I want him to play games on his own disk, without damaging/corrupting my disks (which has already happened twice).
Is it possible to completely restrict access to either folders or entire volumes / disks to processes
running with admin privileges
?? And admin users
?
I'm not too happy about going the encryption route as it will be impossible to access the data without Win7, and also, its time consuming - i have several large disks.
I do not mind running two copies of Win7 in separate partitions, as long as admin account & hostile processes in one Windows cannot see the disks accessible to the other copy of Windows.
Thanks.
Your Brother needs his own computer, no real solution to your problem when sharing a PC, malware is smart and nasty these days. He has a track record of damaging your system, that should be all you need to know. – Moab – 2010-11-02T02:12:26.173
