This is a discussion about users in the Windows Software category; It's me again (or for some) I would like to know if there is a way of blocking -can't find the right term- the users on a computer: like disable acces to some folders or my computer or just to the files of the other users.

Only with NTFS can you assign permissions. A third-party program is required to limit access to files on a FAT partition.

You know you could easily convert your FAT32 partition to NTFS without losing any data.
