Hello there,

I was trying to protect the information in my drives from whomever is using
our guest account at the moment so they cannot view private material. I
tweaked this and that, but I have now somehow managed to block access to my
own D: drive. Does anyone know how to fix this? I can still access the 3
other drives and the user was successfully blocked from accessing those
drives; however, now I cannot get into my largest and most important drive.
Thanks! Jackie

What do you mean by 'cannot get into'?
Do you get a message, something telling you what is wrong?

Would it happen to be 'access denied'?
