the other day we had family over in my house and my uncle is a very busy guy, always on the phone. so for privacy he went into my room to talk on the phone. he wanted to send an email real quick and knows my computer is super fast. he went to log onto my pc and found that i dont have any guest account or anything. he told me to set one up just for those occasions, i found that the guest account can view all my files from the 6 different hdd;s in my pc. how can i make that stop? how can i stop a guest account from not viewing the admin accounts files? i have pr0n that needs protecting. 

Space Journal #1: So Apparently i  was dropped on the moon like i'm a mars rover, in a matter of hours i have found the transformers on the dark side of the moon. Turns out its not that dark since dem robots are filled with lights, i waved hi to the Russians on the space station, turns out all those stories about space finding humans instead of the other way around is true(soviet Russia joke). They threw me some Heineken beer and I've been sitting staring at the people of this forum and earth since.

Windows is only gonna stop the account from viewing the OS drive, go to properties of each drive and uncheck read and write

How are you changing the settings?

right click the hdd from my computer > properties> security> and uncheck the check marks, i locked up the admin by mistake but got it all sorted out now. for a minute i was scared that i just formated my drives.

try this. Properties > Security > Advanced > change premissions > Add. In 'enter the objects name to select' type guest and press check names. it should say <your pc>\Guest. then press ok and under Full control press Deny. this should select deny under everything else as well. click ok, apply and ok the rest. you may get a message saying about permissions in two groups, just click ok/apply. make sure it works before doing it to each hard drive
