I've just invested in an SSD, but it's only 120GB so I want to limit what I put on it.

Specifically, I want to move some higher-volume folders (e.g. Music/Videos/Dropbox) to another drive - but I also want to secure these folders appropriate.

I've created another Users\myName folder on the second volume, and have a series of subfolders. I want to restrict permissions to the Users\myName folder to myself and Administrators.

However, I can't remove permissions for Users or Authenticated Users; I can Deny them access but since I (and other administrators) are members of these groups, I'd be locking myself out.

Anything I can do about this? Any other suggestions?
