I have a Laptop that is being used for various purposes in my robotics class and I would like to hide the C: drive from the limited robotics account. Is this possible and how would I do it.

As far as I know, you can't hide the OS drive. You may be able to get a program that restricts access to the OS files though.

Are you sure because I know that my school hides the c: Drive from all users but administrator

The link you posted is for hiding drives and partitions using Tweak UI and some registry edit. You did not post a link to hiding the Program Files, Documents and Settings, and Windows folders. To make myself a little clearer also, I would like to deny access to the C: drive for limited user accounts.

sorry my bad

to hide docs and sets program files and windows right click on them and go to properties and tick hide

i have never been able to keep my kids out of anything so i never bother
I thought the hide the drive link would do for normal kids but bright ones will sort it in minutes

Well I have "View hidden files and folders" enabled so that wouldn't work. I actually need to deny access, not just hide it.
