I'm far from an expert, but what I'm trying to accomplish is I need to have one User Account that has Administrative rights to access all aspects of the computer (W 8.1 Pro) EXCEPT for two folders. My plan was to create a new Administrative user which I did, and then go to the Properties window of the folder I want to exclude, choose Securites, choose the User I want to exclude and then choose Deny for all permissions for that folder. I thought it would be simple, but unfortunately, this new User Account does not appear under Group Or User Names in the Security Window and I don't understand why. I'm sure it is a simple explanation, but I do not want to aimlessly muck around and screw the whole computer up. I just want to exclude two folders in this manner, and hope someone more knowledgeable can describe how to accomplish this.
