Windows – How to limit other (administrator) users access to the profile

group-policySecurityuser-profileswindows 7

We in our club have a computer with Windows 7 Professional that every club member may use. And everyone has their own separate account.

Those accounts have to have administrator priveleges since I want everyone to be able to install any software and use any feature they want. However, there is a single thing that they shouldn't be allowed to do – that is, look into another users' profiles. Now when anyone goes to 'c:\Users(Any User Name)' a little prompt appears that this folder is secured and whether you really want to look inside. Simply clickinh 'ok' give you access to any profile.

I tried disabling taking ownership for Administrators group in Group Policies but that had no effect. How can I effectively prohibit administrators looking into each others' profiles and documents?

You can't, it's as simple as that.
