Well I want others to be able to use my account but be restricted

Absent encrypting the drives with another password, you cannot do
this.
This defeats the entire purpose of having user accounts.
The PROPER way to do this is to create an account for those folks
and then share what you want shared, rather than try to restrict
what they can see.
My main company accounts along with design drawings are on the office
machines, I can keep pending product files on an external and just
unplug them it's just I thought if I could password protect those
internal drives instead of the constant bother of updating access on
user accounts life would be simpler. Dan's fix did what I need it may
be a little crude but effective and easy for me to use.
