    First you will need to disable simple file sharing. Go to My Computer, Tools -> Folder Options. Click on View tab, then uncheck "Simple File Sharing". Now you can click OK. After that right click on your drive and you will see Sharing & Security option, click on it. Go to Security tab and you will see who has what privileges to that drive, you may remove everybody and just leave administrator as full control, etc. Good luck!
