Keeping SSD clean

[8enjicraf2]

hey guys,

I was thinking about getting an SSD for the computer that me and my brother share, but he downloads a load of crap and i didn't want him filling up all the space on the drive, is there any way of hiding or disabling the SSD on his user account.

This will be my boot drive if possible too, currently I have a  WD 1TB in there running windows 7, however I will be installing 8.1 pro soon.

 

help appreciated, 8

I don't really think you can.
Teach your brother not to download all the crap.
And best way to teach someone is to beat them up.

Go into C>users>USERPROFILE>. From there move the locations of the downloads folder to the other drive and both of you will never fill it up (you can move almost every folder in there by right clicking > properties > location tab.

Hey 8enjicraf2,

 

This discussion in Microsoft's community might help you out: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/limiting-guest-user-access/dc2198b2-74f4-40a9-957f-2ea498844073

 

Another option is to create a folder with your name and allow only your account to access it. Here's a link on how to do that: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/122666-permissions-allow-deny-users-groups.html

 

You could also partition the SSD, leaving space for the OS and locking the other partition only for yourself.
