Make folder on 2nd drive private

I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate and have two SATA hard drives. I've
changed the "Documents" folder from C:\Users\Jim\Documents to D:\Documents.
Any users on the PC can access this folder. When I made this change on my
older XP PRO PC this folder could not be accessed by anyone but me.

I tried to make changes to the security tab of the properties of
D:\Documents, but I am not clear on how to change the "inherit" choices.

You need to go into the advanced security dialog and uncheck the inherit
from parent check box. (It's near the bottom on the first tab that opens

The only vista system I have access to at the moment is Vista Ultimate
SP1 on a domain, so I don't know if that's quite accurate. Let me know
if that doesn't work and I'll throw whatever version your running in a VM
and poke around.

Side note, if you are using simple file sharing (be it XP or vista), you
get a ton more control if you disable it.
