Restrict access to a hard drive for visitors

Bonjour,

I have two hard drives installed on my computer.
On drive C: (XP HOME) I allow a limited access Guest account, which does not have access to the folders but can still browse the web, for example.
The problem is that this guest account has complete access to the other drive D: (XP PRO) and all its content, just by going through the "My Computer".

How can I block this?

In summary, while I take a shower, I would like to allow my friends internet access without them snooping into my personal life.

Thank you in advance
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

    You right-click on the hard drive
    then in the security tab you edit or delete the guest account so that it does not have access to your drive
    and that's it.

    Are you talking about the "sharing and security" tab? Unfortunately, it seems there's no option to modify accounts in that section?

      For Windows XP Pro:
      You need to disable the "simple file sharing" option in the folder options, the last line at the bottom
      There should be a security tab for the properties of each folder
